The daily dose of Media lies
News stories News Channels fry,
Public at mercy of NDTV and TOI
24X7 telling us what to think,
What to do and what to buy
Lies damned lies and views
We’re spoon-fed with expert views
Corporate journalism and Page 3
Fashion trends, product promotion
Playing with people’s emotion
Murder, crime, poverty nobody’s interested
Fashion Weeks, Celebrities everybody’s in,
Poor farmer’s suicides nobody’s sin?
Somebody’s sorrow is somebody’s grin,
Money spins as media stories stink.
Fake Media, Fake Criteria,
Fake Cries, Fake Hysteria,
Fake Sympathy, Fake Fascia.
Is this the fake world I’m supposed to live in?
Are these the fake smiles I’m supposed to take in?
Media- trying to be society’s watch dog,
Prince- 48 hours on your TV non-stop
Late-night parties is all they got,
But what ‘bout the farmers spoiled crops?
Ethics and values is what we’ve lost
Who cares ‘bout the sting operation?
All they need is cash and recognition
Your fame is somebody’s indignation
All that Media tells is hallucination,
Sting operation baby sting operation
Flood. Lies. Flood of Lies.
Mumbai cries. As you traumatize.
Advertising rings as you set the price
So shut up and just leave us alone
Because we don’t need you anymore,
Everybody knows you’re sold.
Fake Media, Fake Criteria,
Fake Cries, Fake Hysteria,
Fake Sympathy, Fake Fascia.
Is this the fake world I’m supposed to live in?
Are these the fake smiles I’m supposed to take in?
