The Martyr Index bait and switch

Select language to translate this lyric

No one noticed when the discourse started to spin

The story that matters getting buried alive beneath the mass of ad hominem

True reality TV, a confectionary for your eyes

A good ol’ fashioned spectacle is always better than lies

Manufactured celebrities, cult of personalities
Government win public fail

Tiger chases its own tail 

Corporate culture sprouting seeds 

Obsessed with triviality
Ambassadorial duplicity, loathing of democracy

Dictator regimes, splitting wide at the seams beneath the weight of their hypocrisy 

Oh, but the gossip burns the ears and titillates all of the senses

Like ‘dozers rolling over the story, left whitewashed and defenseless

Abandon all causality, escalating casualties
Government win public fail

Tiger chases its own tail 

Corporate culture sprouting seeds 

Obsessed with triviality
Hold fast! Don’t buy the trick! Don’t!

Don’t fall for the bait and switch.

We gotta see past, see through all the shit.

We gotta move on, move on, move on...

Fight forward! Open your mouth! Shout!

‘til counter-bullshit discourse resounds. 

Up! Up now! Get up with your voice!

We gotta move on, move on, up and out!
Public win government fail 

Tiger biting its own tail

Social culture sprouting seeds 

Sturdy, vibrant polity!
Up now! Get up with with your voice! Up! Up! Up!

Fight forward! Open your mouth! Shout! Shout! Shout!

Up now! Get up with with your voice! Up! Up! Up!

Fight forward! Open your mouth! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
