Megaphone World

Congratulations. They gave the village idiot a tower One phone and you’re a prophet One clip and you’re informed One thumb up your own importance One fart becomes a storm You saw a headline limping past And dragged it home like meat Now you’re stood there looking serious With the world between your teeth You don’t know what happened You know what face to pull You don’t know where the wire goes You just like feeling full Little god with a cracked screen Big mouth, rented flame You didn’t find a signal You found something else to blame Say it first Say it thick Say it like you mean the click Pass it on Make it worse One small brain Now with reach Megaphone world All mouth, no head Every little halfwit Wants to raise the dead Megaphone world All noise, no spine You got a voice And mistook it for a mind You leak yourself in public Then call it taking part You smear your little weather On the nearest open chart Every share’s a tiny sermon Every pile-on needs a priest Every cough becomes a movement Every clown becomes released You want the world made bite-sized You want it dumb and hot You want a thing to point at And a villain with a slot Too much map hurts your feelings Too much cause makes you itch So you chew the planet smaller Then pose beside the spit Say it first Say it thick Say it like you mean the click Pass it on Make it worse One small brain Now with reach Megaphone world All mouth, no head Every little halfwit Wants to raise the dead Megaphone world All noise, no spine You got a voice And mistook it for a mind No, don’t call it speech Speech has bones This is a mouth accident with Wi-Fi You didn’t “join the conversation.” You pissed in the reservoir and asked why everyone tastes you All mouth No head All click No blood All reach No grip All voice No guts Megaphone world All mouth, no head Every little halfwit Wants to raise the dead Megaphone world All noise, no spine You got a voice And mistook it for a mind For the big weather, see "Cascade State" For the stupid outfits, see "Attainted Postures" Try not to transmit.
