Proxy War Headlines

[Verse 1] Scroll glow Talk show Everybody pointing at a map they don't know Names in the chyron Face in the frame They selling you a side like it's merch Like a game Charlie Erica Candace in a chair Arguing the world from a swivel and a prayer Red Blue Flag crew Clicks pay better when they scare you [Chorus] Headlines hit like a proxy war Every channel keeps a running score Who's right Who's wrong Who's keeping the receipts But it's kids on the ground in the dust and the heat Say a name Say a flag Say a holy land Push a clip Push a take Push a shaky hand All these voices in my room every night But the bombs don't care who was "going live" [Verse 2] Studio makeup Casual rage Argue over rumors like it's scripture on the page Israel in a shout America in flames Iran in the mouth of people playing little games Flight path Oil track Somebody's brother ain't coming back Tweets like teeth Biting at the screen While a mother packs photos she can’t unsee [Bridge] Who cashes in on the chaos? (tell me) Who counts shares when the sirens sing? We're watching war through a window They’re watching roofs and rings [Chorus] Headlines hit like a proxy war Every channel keeps a running score Who's right Who's wrong Who's keeping the receipts But it's kids on the ground in the dust and the heat Say a name Say a flag Say a holy land Push a clip Push a take Push a shaky hand All these voices in my room every night But the bombs don't care who was "going live"
