[Intro] Scroll, flash, panic, sell Who profits when the truth don’t tell Scroll, flash, anger, bleed Static on the Newsfeed [Verse] Wake up, phone glow, fear in my hand Ten new crises I don’t understand One man shouting, one screen split Everybody selling me a different hit They got a sponsor for the end of days They got a pundit with a practiced gaze They got a rumor dressed up like a lead And a million hearts caught in the feed [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear me through the signal Can you see me through the smoke Can you feel the real people When the whole machine gets broke [Chorus] Static on the Newsfeed Noise in the bloodstream Everybody shouting Nobody listening Static on the Newsfeed Truth underneath Turn the volume down Let the people breathe [Verse] They make us fight with a headline blade Turn neighbor against neighbor for the clicks they made Meanwhile the rent goes higher every week And the lonely grow tired of being told to speak But here in the field with the bassline loud I can see real faces in the moving crowd No filter needed, no perfect pose Just sweat and tears where the trumpet blows [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear me through the signal Can you see me through the smoke Can you feel the real people When the whole machine gets broke [Chorus] Static on the Newsfeed Noise in the bloodstream Everybody shouting Nobody listening Static on the Newsfeed Truth underneath Turn the volume down Let the people breathe [Instrumental] Scratch the feed, cut the lie Brass like lightning across the sky Drums keep speaking in human time Bassline pulls us out the grind [Bridge] I don’t need another enemy sold to me I don’t need another fear to hold for free I need a hand, I need a street I need a song where the people meet [Breakdown] Mute the panic, mute the spin Let the human voices in Mute the poison, mute the greed Static on the Newsfeed [Build-up] Crowd says breathe Breathe Band says breathe Breathe MC says truth Truth Everybody breathe [Chorus] Static on the Newsfeed Noise in the bloodstream Everybody shouting Nobody listening Static on the Newsfeed Truth underneath Turn the volume down Let the people breathe [Chorus] Static on the Newsfeed Noise in the bloodstream Everybody shouting Nobody listening Static on the Newsfeed Truth underneath Turn the volume down Let the people breathe [Outro] Phones go dark, horns stay bright Real hands raised in the real night Past the panic, past the greed We rise above the Static on the Newsfeed
