Default News monsters

NEWS MONSTERS (NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS)

*Spoken, light bass in background*
Anchorman, run away.
Run, run, there's no escape.
*Pause as bass gets slightly louder*
Out of my land, run away.
From my machine, fueled by hate.
*The rest of the band comes in here*

I could kill forever, you know I've got time to burn.
Why I'm this way, it's out of concern.
The pain I cause is the kind that has to be earned.
Citizen zombies, my deadly lessons will be learned.

You allowed the media run your mind.
I can't bring down CNN, but perhaps I can be your guide.
News monsters, so long you've been the overlords.
But now it's time to hide
Cause coming your way is my heavy metal deathride.

Now you know how it feels.
To be on the frontline of disaster.
Now you know how it feels.
To be in here and now, not after.
Now you know how it feels.
To just be one of us.
Now you know.

I used to be a follower of the headgame
mafia.
When opinions seemed to matter, when others pain would soften ya.
But now any **** with a camera can make news.
Making it impossible to isolate the truth.
I no longer feel the urge to step into anothers shoes.
And win or lose, I don't regret what I choose.

Now you know how it feels.
(Anchorman)
To be on the frontline of disaster.
Now you know how it feels.
(Faceless blogger)
To be in here and now, not after.
Now you know how it feels.
(Critics)
To just be one of us.
Now you know.
Now you know how it feels.
Stop.

*Back to the bass from the beginning*
Anchorman, run away
Run, run, there's no escape.
Out of my land, run away.
From my machine, fueled by hate.

*all music stops and this next part is spoken*
Now you know how it feels.
To feel like this like we do every day.
Now you know.
