Scripted Scandals

Televised lives on a screen, scenes painted by some hidden fiends
Living dreams under their scheme, nothing is as it seems
Mannequins dance in the night, underneath the spotlight's bright
Programs running, never wrong, we all just sing along

Scripted scandals we can't see
Life's a show, it's on repeat
Clockwork chaos on TV
Break the code, set us free

Reality's a comic book, flip the page, take a closer look
Actors play the innocent, truth hidden in cement
Patterns everywhere we see, simulations, mystery
Control beneath that smile, is it worth the while

Scripted scandals we can't see
Life's a show, it's on repeat
Clockwork chaos on TV
Break the code, set us free

Lights, camera, action, every move's a show
In the scripted scandal world, put solid glow
Major events we're seeing, they're all pre-planned
Living in a simulation, nothing's what it seems man

Man pulling the strings, with puppets on strings
Truth hidden deep beneath news they bring
Wake up, wake up, it's time to understand
Realize every headline's just another man's hand

Scripted scandals, everything's a lie
Simulation running, don't ask why
Pre-planned stories, fake news rise
Open your eyes, it's all disguise

Daily drama unfolding, it's all a game
Shadows and actors pulling us on this fake train
Behind the scenes, they write scenes for every frame
Playing our roles without knowing who's to blame

Images on screen feeding us the lies
We're living in a fake world where nothing applies
Break the chains, open up your mind
Seeing the truth, it's a rare find

Scripted scandals, everything's a lie
Simulation running, don't ask why
Pre-planned stories, fake news rise
Open your eyes, it's all disguise
