00:00:00.000 Warning! Although this video is political in nature, it does not overtly reflect a left or right-wing viewpoint.
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
00:00:44.000 I know it all
00:00:46.000 I know it all
00:00:48.000 I know it all
00:00:50.000 And I'm a good person
00:00:54.000 It's always good news on my feed
00:01:00.000 It's always good news on my feed
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
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
00:02:44.000 It's always good news on my feed
00:02:46.000 It's always good news on my feed
00:02:51.000 It's always good news on my feed
00:02:57.000 I unfriend anyone who disagrees
00:03:04.000 It's always good news on my feed
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
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
00:04:20.000 A wise man once said
00:04:24.000 Intelligence is the capacity
00:04:28.000 To hold two opposing viewpoints
00:04:31.000 At the same time
00:04:32.000 And still be able to function
