about

A song I wrote about my frustration with the media.

lyrics

What’s going on in Belarus?
What’s going on in Hong Kong?
Everyone was talking bout it
Now it feels like so long
What’s going on in Myanmar?
What’s going on in Xinjiang?
All I see are little glimpses
Why does that feel so wrong?

These things happen while we sleep
These things happen all day long
Surely I can learn about it
I’ll go turn the TV on
What else could they talk about?
What could be more urgent?
Oh, here they go again
Showing us where the money’s spent

You would think it all would matter
You would think we would be there
Doing what we say we do
Is that not our cross to bear?
What are we doing instead?
Where does all our money go?
Holding on to what is dead
Putting on a fragile show

These things happen while we sleep
These things happen all day long
Surely I can learn about it
I’ll go turn the TV on
What else could they talk about?
What could be more urgent?
Oh, here they go again
Showing us where the money’s spent
