They Were Right (Indie)

[Verse] They said the moon was made of cheese He wore tinfoil hats and talked to trees He swore the news was just a show We laughed and called him “Parano” He mumbled stuff about secret labs Fake steaks and government power grabs He said “trust me, it’s all a plan” We rolled our eyes and fed the spam [Chorus] Turns out they were right — what the hell? Conspiracy man rang the bell While fact-checkers got paid to miss He nailed it all with a shopping list Turns out they were right — go ahead, check From the towers to the virus to the alphabet tech [Verse] He said “they’ll ban you if you speak” While sipping soup through a rubber beak “Big Brother’s watching, keep your head low” We posted memes and called it a show He said “truth’s not fact, it’s what they say” And laughed when things got taken away We fact-checked him with shiny pride Then the truth caught up and the lines all fried [Chorus] Turns out they were right — who knew? While blue-check bots missed every clue He drew maps on his garage wall And now they’re hanging in city hall Turns out they were right — ain't that neat? While experts danced around their own feet [Bridge: [Instrumental: noisy solo with detuned strings and mock news jingles sampled]] [Chorus] Turns out they were right — no joke He warned us all while we made jokes The fact guys said “that’s a lie!” Now they just shrug and wave goodbye Turns out they were right — what a sight The madman’s notes aged just right [Outro: Fading riff with delayed echo vocals repeating “right, right, right…” under static noise] [Spoken: "He’s on a roll… give him a tinfoil crown."] [right… right… right…]
