Stop Gorging On Misery

Reality TV, the stalkarazzi
Fabricate conflict
And say to hell with our privacy, just
Pull in more eyeballs
To hell with the quality
Search for a soundbite
Just make sure that it's painfully cringe-worthy

Yeah, we gotta
Stop gorging on misery
All around we can't help but see
People gorging on misery
Cuz it's best when felt by
Someone else, so help me
Stop gorging on misery
Time to put down my pocket TV cuz
If we keep gorging on misery
Then miserable is what we'll be

Political gridlock, partisan policy
Stink up the headlines
And be sure it's a viral must-see, just
Keep selling that ad time
Add to the bottom line
Standup for standoffs
Just make sure that the news cycle keeps churning

Yeah, we gotta
Stop gorging on misery
All around we can't help but see
People gorging on misery
Cuz it's best when felt by
Someone else, so help me
Stop gorging on misery
Time to put down your pocket TV cuz
If we keep gorging on misery
Then miserable is what we'll be

Why do we love misery?
Is it because we love company?
That saying doesn't even make
Sense to me
So tell me why
Can't we try
To shake off the haze
And believe better days will come?

Oh

National defaults, failing economies
Someone knows something
But there's no accountability, just
More campaign donations
Democracy mockery
Keep stirring up scandals
Just make sure it's all painfully cringe-worthy

Yeah, we gotta
Stop gorging on misery
All around we can't help but see
People gorging on misery
Cuz it's best when felt by
Someone else, so help me
Stop gorging on misery
Time to put down our pocket TVs cuz
If we keep gorging on misery
Then miserable is what we'll be
