I think this one has to be recited out loud!
Too Much News Blues
I’m drowning in news
Coming at me from all corners.
Plenty of views
Trying their hardest to warn us.
Putin is dying.
Trump is bound to lose.
Gaza is frying.
I’ve got the too much news blues.
The planet’s heating up.
Trump’s turning up the gas.
Drinking from an evil cup
Dancing to rotten jazz.
Can’t turn on the TV
Without blown up tank crews
Death and destruction:
I’ve got the too much news blues.
The Tories left a black hole.
The Republicans are all mad.
Results wrong in every poll.
Feels like we’ve been had.
Wallowing through the info
Trying not to blow a fuse.
Seeking out the truth
I’ve got the too much news blues.
Billionaires spread disinformation
Manipulating us.
Brain inflammation:.
Thrown under the bus.
Scratting a living
Paying all our dues.
Life is unforgiving.
I’ve got the too much news blues.

Never has a world been so full of news and reporting. Never has there been so much disinformation. Various factions vie to tell us lies. Governments and politicians, businessmen and media. Most of it is wrong; some of it is deliberate misinformation meant to confuse us.
Algorithms kick in to boost whatever view we take.
Our beliefs are magnified, nurtured and distorted.
We’re being manipulated by devious people for their gain.
Nothing is clear. Nothing is black and white.
We’re being lied to.
We can’t believe anything.
Conspiracy gets dafter by the minute.
It threatens the very fabric of society.
I’ve got the too much news blues.
