[Intro] [Verse 1] Welcome back to Sycophants' News! The hottest day in a century and a half of fears, No proof it’s man-made—and no one blames the women, it appears. The Pope says war is hideous, a pious, bloody mess, But we’re prodding for an expert who professes to say "Yes!" Don’t stray in the day, stay away from the rays, Especially if you’re voting to terminate the maze. The President told the youth: "You’re the truth of this land," Then he kissed the chrome and shattered what he planned! [Pre-Chorus] Click Subscribe to watch the fire! Higher and higher on the digital wire! 1-2-3-4! GIVE THEM THE MIC! [Chorus] Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! The flags are furled—we're running out of time! Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! Answer in the comments while we cross the line! [Verse 2] Welcome back to Sycophants' News! An oligarch called an oligarch a plutocrat in vain, Who called the first a fascist—now they’re locked inside the brain. Don’t go in the heat, don’t go in the cold, Just stay in the grey and do exactly what you’re told. Ninety-nine percent think democracy’s a glitch, The other one percent is busy getting rich. It’s a pixelated broadcast, a saturated lie, Smash that like before you wither and die! [Chorus] Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! The flags are furled—we're running out of time! Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! Answer in the comments while we cross the line! [Bridge] Top ten sci-fi books... With futures less disturbing than today. Spoilers say... Spoilers say we’re late anyway! ... WAKE UP! (UP!) [The F*ckin Solo] [Chorus] Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! The flags are furled—we're running out of time! Mr. Stipe said: "It’s the end of the world" Do you feel fine? NO! Answer in the comments while we cross the line! [Outro] Welcome back... Peak of the absurd! End of the world! Have you heard? Have you heard?
