It's clear you think the media's in the wrong,
But they're just giving us what we want all along.
Our brains are wired to crave a thrill and a show,
The news is just entertainment, and that's how it goes.
You blame the media for failing to report
The issues that really matter, so we can't be caught short.
But our brains don't care about the long-term plight,
So the media gives us quick thrills to keep us in the light.
That's why we lap up gossip and drama galore,
It's not the media's fault, that's just how we evolved before.
So instead of pointing fingers and blaming 'em for what we crave,
Let's use the news for more than to just misbehave.
