I watched the news today, oh boy!
But what they're calling 'news' these days
is like a modern horse of Troy:
seductive in its stealthy ways
It's gloom and doom or trivial junk
that titillates us to the core
So sad to see how low we've sunk
when we keep coming back for more
The media promised us the news
We trusted them but we were wrong
The advertising revenues
are what they wanted all along
We've brought this on ourselves of course
by meekly watching what we're shown
By never challenging the source
and now we're reaping what we've sown
If we're not well informed, we're lost
And there is such a lot to lose
Fed up with feeling double-crossed,
I'm boycotting the so-called news
