lyrics

Yo Vlad, I got a plan
Because my oil's tied up in your frozen northern land
You'll get to keep Crimea
And Don will take a fee
And maybe we'll destabilize a democracy or three
You see, these whack-ass sanctions and the price of oil just
Got you economy falling like a Menshevik loyalist
Wouldn't it be nicer if we turned that around?
The international order, man, it's keepin' me down so let's

Weaponize the news
Make them question sanity
Create a false reality
Delegitimize the truth
Fill their mind with doubts and lies
To keep a nation paralyzed
Weaponize the news
And we can drive them all insane
Drive them all insane

Now with fifty paid writers and a thousand paid trolls
And a few news outlets that we keep on the rolls
We'll spam out so much content that they never know what's real
But we'll create unconscious biases through first reaction feels
Maybe we'll tip elections - that's a secondary goal
We just destabilize the process and we watch the rest unfold
If the world don't trust the government the order's gonna tank
And we'll be watching, laughing all the way to the fucking bank

If we weaponize the news
Make them question sanity
Create a false reality
Delegitimize the truth
Fill their mind with doubts and lies
To keep a nation paralyzed
Weaponize the news
And we can drive them all insane
Drive them all insane

Weaponize the news
Make them question sanity
Create a false reality
Delegitimize the truth
Fill their mind with doubts and lies
To keep a nation paralyzed
Weaponize the news
And we can drive them all insane
Drive them all insane
