The Loco News

by @phylo

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

One last song...or the lyrics anyway of my take of a protest song, I'll try to record the demo in March. #lyricsonly #protest #folkrock

Lyrics

Breaking stories every hour Feeding off of your fear The world’s a circus sideshow Talking heads pushing weird

Headlines scream apocalypse Tomorrow’s sure to burn But you don't dare to look away No need to be concerned

Chorus: It’s the loco news, Can’t make this up They serve it hot So you’ll drink it up

Anchor’s got a plastic smile While selling the despair Stay tuned for devastation No answers to your prayers

Panels full of shouting heads Facts are up for trade Truth's twisted storyline Who cares who gets played

Chorus: It’s the loco news, Can’t make this up They serve it hot So you’ll drink it up

Turn it off, just walk away But still, we feel the draw Drama loop of madness That keeps us in its jaw

Absolutely on-point. If it's any consolation, the UK's rolling news coverage is now every bit as toxic as that in the US. :-(

Yeah it is a straight up addiction. Look forward to hearing the music.

Very well expressed. Strong lyrics. Very catchy and meaningful.

Great hook and spot-on observations. FAWM has been a great place to be away from the loco; hoping to carry the sanity beyond February. Looking forward to your music!
