Sell Me A Story

Intro — static, distant crowd noise, news anchors overlapping

“Breaking news…”

“Sources say…”

“Unconfirmed reports…”

“Patriot… traitor… savior… liar…”

Verse 1

Sell me a story with a blood-red tie,

Tell me freedom while the cameras fly,

Fake tears falling in the perfect light,

Whole damn tragedy timed overnight—

One hand shaking,

One hand hides,

Other one counting the market rise,

Breaking news with a sponsor smile,

Everybody tuned in for the circus trial—

Black SUVs and the sirens scream,

Somebody yell “IT AIN’T WHAT IT SEEMS,”

Smoke machine politics prime-time feed,

Fear got ratings and ratings breed—

Pre-Chorus

Every headline got a loaded spin,

Every villain got a management team,

Every patriot marketed clean,

Truth chopped up into dopamine streams—

Chorus

SELL ME A STORY—

Make it cinematic,

Heroes and villains all perfectly packaged—

SELL ME A STORY—

Feed me panic,

Fake assassination shadows in the static—

SELL ME A STORY—

Wave the flag dramatic,

Everybody scrolling while the world turns plastic—

SELL ME A STORY—

Keep the crowd distracted,

Truth disappeared in the manufactured madness—

Verse 2

Slow-mo replay from eleven angles,

Experts arguing in sponsored tangles,

One side screaming,

One side blind,

Both getting farmed in real-time—

He raised his fist with the bloodline grin,

Merch went live before the speech could end,

Every outrage got a QR code,

Every dead dream sold episode-by-episode—

Influencers feast on the fear buffet,

Bots amplify what the headlines say,

Everybody trapped in the algorithm maze,

Rage-click zombies in a neon haze—

Bridge — distorted choir

Who profits?

Who gains?

Who monetized the public pain?

Who edits?

Who frames?

Who turns collapse into a branding campaign?

Final Chorus

SELL ME A STORY—

Something easy to digest—

Wrap the chaos in a tailored vest—

SELL ME A STORY—

Something loud and glowing—

Nobody knows where the hell this thing is going—

SELL ME A STORY—

Truth got buried alive—

Under sponsored feeds and performative pride—

SELL ME A STORY—

Till the screen goes snowy white—

And the whole damn crowd forgets what’s real tonight—

Outro

“Stay tuned after the break…”

“We now return to the spectacle…”
