[Intro]

[Verse]
Three AM, the screen glows bright
Another headline, feeds the night
Eyes are burning, mind is frayed
Every word, a trap is laid
They paint a picture, stark and grim
Fueling anger from within
Whispers turn to shouts of dread
Filling up my weary head

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this real or just a show?
Seeds of panic start to grow
Every channel, same refrain
Driving us completely insane

[Chorus]
The news is a weapon!
Yeah, the news is a weapon!
They twist the truth, a cruel deception!
The news is a weapon!

[Verse]
Faces stare from every wall
Echoes of a coming fall
Governments and corporate lies
Reflected in my hollow eyes
They feed the fear, they sell the hate
Sealing up our hopeless fate
Every crisis, every war
Just another open door

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this real or just a show?
Seeds of panic start to grow
Every channel, same refrain
Driving us completely insane

[Chorus]
The news is a weapon!
Yeah, the news is a weapon!
They twist the truth, a cruel deception!
The news is a weapon!

[Bridge]
Screaming static, breaking through
What am I supposed to do?
They build the walls, they cage the mind
Leaving all the truth behind!

[Verse]
Cold paranoia, sharp and deep
While the sleeping city sleeps
They manipulate, they divide
Nowhere left for us to hide
This constant stream, a digital flood
Poisoning our very blood

[Chorus]
The news is a weapon!
Yeah, the news is a weapon!
They twist the truth, a cruel deception!
The news is a weapon!

[Outro]
