Think critically, open your mind and see what's outside of your social media feed. There's so much deep, deep truth out there waiting between the left and right pandering and clickbaiting. There are a hundred sides to every story. A wise man once said, "Intelligence is the capacity to hold two opposing viewpoints at the same time, and still be able to function properly."

00:00:07.000 Some may find this lack of bias and lack of overly opinionated political stance disturbing.
00:00:15.000 Check out this viral video
00:00:19.000 It's got all the facts
00:00:22.000 I didn't do the research myself
00:00:25.000 Someone else did that
00:00:28.000 I share the viral video with my friends
00:00:32.000 I put it on my wall
00:00:34.000 Now everybody understands
00:00:38.000 That I know it all
00:00:40.000 I know it all
00:00:42.000 I know it all

00:01:06.000 The twin towers, golden showers
00:01:10.000 Let me sing in the eleventh hour
00:01:12.000 My hope for the world is Wilton
00:01:14.000 When grown-ups on TV
00:01:16.000 Argue like children 1.00
00:01:18.000 That's why we're huffing to find our news
00:01:20.000 From Buzzfeed
00:01:22.000 Or Perez Hilton
00:01:24.000 And the right-wing acts like crazy pricks
00:01:28.000 While the left-wing acts like crazy pricks
00:01:30.000 For the opposing side
00:01:32.000 For the opposing side
00:01:34.000 We show no respect
00:01:36.000 And from the opposing side
00:01:38.000 It's what we expect
00:01:40.000 It's an info war with the tweets and graphs
00:01:42.000 Someone disagrees then we attack
00:01:44.000 We don't check the source
00:01:46.000 We're just seething mad
00:01:48.000 We're more divided
00:01:49.000 And more people feeling sad
00:01:52.000 But it's always good news on my feed
00:01:58.000 It's always good news on TV
00:02:04.000 It's all advertisements and farming clicks
00:02:07.000 Journalists, these news sources don't give a shit
00:02:10.000 About the real truth or social justice
00:02:13.000 They want more web traffic
00:02:15.000 And us to argue like fuckwits
00:02:17.000 Fuck this nonsense, I'll explain it to you
00:02:20.000 More clicks and comments equals more ad revenue
00:02:24.000 Everyone's pissed and wants someone to blame
00:02:27.000 In this finger-pointing game
00:02:29.000 There's so much to gain
00:02:31.000 So I plead that you think critically
00:02:33.000 Open your mind and see what's outside of your Facebook feed
00:02:37.000 There's so much deep truth out there waiting
00:02:40.000 Between the left and right pandering and clickbaiting

00:03:10.000 Celebrities tell me how to feel
00:03:13.000 Clips with captions show me what is real
00:03:17.000 Every issue has a cut and dry answer
00:03:20.000 These dank memes aren't my real master
00:03:23.000 There's a hundred sides to every story
00:03:27.000 I read the other 99 when I can get all the glory
00:03:32.000 Like I'm right
00:03:34.000 That warm feeling helps me sleep at night
00:03:38.000 But the truth is, it's a shade of grey
00:03:41.000 It's kind of hard to explain it all
00:03:44.000 On a Facebook page
00:03:46.000 Yet we scream and kick
00:03:48.000 Whining bitch 1.00
00:03:50.000 Is this it?
00:03:52.000 Is this politics?
00:03:54.000 There's so many issues
00:03:58.000 We need to work together
00:04:00.000 To solve them
00:04:02.000 And if we can't have an open and honest conversation
00:04:06.000 Then we're all part of the problem
00:04:10.000 Thank you
