[avoid pop, avoid commercial sound, avoid catchy happy melodies, keep it raw and uncomfortable] [INTRO — DISTORTED BROADCAST] [fx: tape_hiss + radio_static + overlapping news voices] (Voice A — polished, artificial) We inform the public… we protect democracy… (Voice B — cutting in) Fuck that. (gang — shouted) Bought and paid! Sold the truth! All their headlines, all abuse! [fx: signal glitch] [VERSE 1 — SIGNAL BREACH] (Voice B) Screen in yer face, but the story’s fake, truth gets cut for the money they make. Spin it clean, keep it safe, don’t bite the hand that feeds the place. (Voice A — echoing) Objectivity… neutrality… (Voice B) Neutral my arse, tha pick a side, power an’ profit where truth goes t’die. Clickbait rage on a 24 loop, same dead script in a different suit. [PRE-CHORUS — INTERFERENCE] (Voice A — glitching) This is… journalism… (Voice B) Journalism? Or just control? (static swell) [CHORUS — COLLISION] (gang vocals) NO MORE LIES! NO MORE FEAR! You sold the truth to billionaires! NO MORE LIES! WE SEE CLEAR! Free press died for cash an’ shares! [VERSE 2 — CONTROL LOOP] (Voice A — calm, corporate) For the people… informed society… (Voice B — interrupting) “People” on yer lips, but it’s sponsors tha feed, every word filtered through corporate greed. (Voice A — breaking) Balance… fairness… (Voice B) Balance is dead when the truth gets cut, fairness don’t pay so they shut it up. Every crisis turned into gain, every headline designed for the brain. [CHORUS — COLLISION] (gang vocals) NO MORE LIES! NO MORE FEAR! Facts get buried year by year! NO MORE LIES! WE SEE CLEAR! You sold us out, now we don’t care! [BREAK — SYSTEM FAILURE] [fx: heavy distortion + signal tearing] (Voice A — collapsing) We… ask for your… trust… (Voice B — slow, close mic) Trust? (pause) Tha lost it. You ain’t reporters. You’re advertisers wi’ a script. [fx: hard cut → silence → low hum] [BRIDGE — OVERRIDE] (Voice B — building) No truth, no spine, no backbone left, just paid opinions dressed as press. (Voice A — fading) Integrity… standards… (Voice B — louder) Standards died when money spoke, now every channel’s just another joke! [FINAL CHORUS — SIGNAL TAKEOVER] (gang vocals, chaotic) NO MORE LIES! TEAR IT DOWN! Burn the scripts, reject the crown! NO MORE LIES! SHOUT IT LOUD! We won’t bow, we won’t be cowed! [OUTRO — DEAD SIGNAL] [fx: feedback → tape slowdown] (Voice A — barely audible) …free press… (Voice B — calm, final) Not anymore. [tape_stop]
