Floods of information

Leaking down the line

Binary existence

Streams among the lies

News and scattered updates

Keep on cutting through

Phony facts and rumours

Claiming to be true

Tell me, who do you trust?

In this semantic turmoil

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

To accept conspiracies

As a tawdry verity

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

Sex, religion, politics

Filling up your tiny screens

Science's been neglected

In the name of god

Ain't this just a blunder

A collective fraud?

Superstitious ideas

Exploit all the pain

Centuries of progress

Were they all in vain?

Is faith your cornerstone

Does it shape your opinion?

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

To accept conspiracies

As a tawdry verity

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

Sex, religion, politics

Filling up your tiny screens

Distort what's real

Distort what is to be

Distort what's real

Distort the factual side

Twist the truth to your own view

View the truth as just a plot

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

To accept conspiracies

As a tawdry verity

Dumbing down

This dumbing down

Sex, religion, politics

Filling up your tiny screens
