about

Fake is about the duplicity of social media.

lyrics

Fake

When I was young I used to think
That when we reached the 21st century
That everything would be so sweet
We’d all live in global harmony
Now I’m here stupid rules the world
You can’t believe how stupid it can be
Heading back, veering right
Become cruel, mean and greedy.

Chorus
Welcome to the world at F A K E
Hear the truth, you want to hear, you know that they’ll agree
Make-it-up, invent and lie, they don’t care just stay logged-in
They’ll keep your fears alive in the fake-dumb 21stCentury

Now we all live a lie, imagined lives of false confection
Wear a mask to hide what’s true, fabricate your own persona
Infected by the cyber curse...damned to live, lives of illusion
Do we shun reality, or choose to live in perfect delusion.

The data gods feast on high, greed corrupts...always
Faith and trust compromised, all of us betrayed
Big brother logged inside our heads, thoughts held to ransom
Zombie bots mesmerised, trapped inside the web.
