[Intro|Sung Contralto|Egyptian-Accented English|Clear Words]
A wealth of information
Creates a poverty of attention.
Information is a living, hungry beast;
Your attention is the food it needs.

[Verse 1|Low Direct Vocal|Grinding Pulse]
They change the stories showing in your feed;
More fear, more anger, more of what you read.
You came for news; you're leaving full of dread.
Who chose the pictures living in your head?
They watch what holds you, learn what makes you stay,
Then serve another reason not to look away.

[Verse 2|Forward Contralto|Oud and Drums]
Data centers humming through the night,
Tracking what you watch beneath the light.
Every click can tell them what to sell;
Every pause can teach them fear as well.
Are we the customers, or what they trade?
Who gets paid each time we feel afraid?

[Verse 3|Bowed Metal|Firm Clear Delivery]
The CIA had sources in the press;
Old files give us reasons to question this.
Mockingbird: a name that makes us ask
Who writes the news, and who supplies the mask?
Don't trust a claim because it fits your side.
Find where it started. Check what they supplied.

[Chorus|Commanding Contralto|Heavy Daf]
Who feeds on fear? Who gets control?
Who takes your money? Who wants your soul?
Keep us angry, keep us watching,
Keep us buying what they're offering.
My attention isn't yours to own.
I will think before I pass it on.

[Verse 4|Sub-Bass|Dark Narrative Vocal]
Imagine fear collected from the feed,
An unseen hunger living on our grief.
They call it loosh: emotion turned to food,
A harvest gathered from our changing moods.
Data centers, temples of extraction:
Joy or terror, feeding on reaction.

[Verse 5|Restrained Guitar|Accented Words Clear]
They show you violence, then offer you control:
"Accept these rules; we'll keep you safe at home."
Afraid enough, we stop asking why;
We trade our choices for a quiet night.
When every warning comes with something planned,
Ask who gains the power you put in their hands.

[Verse 6|Driving Drums|No Vocal Runs]
Be prepared, but watch what fear can sell:
"Buy this now, before your world becomes hell."
The warning ends; the product link appears.
They sell relief, then sell us brand-new fears.
Who profits? Follow where the payments go.
Then check the facts before you say you know.

[Verse 7|Oud and Low Drone|Steady Vocal]
If fear can keep our consciousness confined,
What might we learn with room inside the mind?
Rise above this lower vibration;
Start by breaking your fixation.
Stay informed. Take action where you can.
Don't let every warning take command.

[Verse 8|Heavy Toms|Rebellion Build]
They gave you labels, told you who to hate,
Before you met the person at the gate.
You don't know their life; they don't know yours.
Who profits when we fight another war?
It costs you nothing to be kind.
Don't let a feed plant hate in your mind.

[Final Chorus|Fierce Clear Belt|Voice Above Guitars]
No more fear deciding what I buy.
No more hate supplied to tell me why.
Check the source and question the solution;
Kindness is my daily revolution.
My attention isn't yours to own.
You won't make an enemy of everyone.

[Outro|Low Egyptian-Accented Contralto|Measured Phrasing|Final Drum Stop]
Know what's happening.
Choose what you do.
The person they taught you to hate is human too.
Pay attention to the source.
Pay attention to what you endorse.
