Critical Minded from Critical Minded by JAY MANAFEST

Verse I:

We in a post fact society, It’s time to get your mind right
watch for distractions hidden in the lime light
predatory media strike when the time right
shadows on the land, don’t want us to shine bright
The biggest lies hide in plain site
protected by the status quo, that ain’t right
The gate keepers always want us to fight
they know that we’ll win if we ever unite

A lot of people need to get their facts checked
And look at the topics from many different aspects
check your sources and where they cash checks
think about the questions, you haven’t even asked yet
ignorance is a disease and it has spread
across the land with advanced tactics
Up and down with the verbal gymnastics
Social media’s the opium of masses

Chorus:

If you wanna run your mouth
You better have your facts checked
Ignorance is a tool for the fascists

Cause if you’re gonna run your mouth
You’re gonna get your facts checked
ignorance is a tool for the fascists

Verse II:

Talking heads love to fight but are on the same team
whether it's alternative or the mainstream
it don’t matter, it’s on the same screen
you’re stuck in your bubble, trapped in a day dream
critical thinking, we need more then ever
digital manipulation is getting clever
delete facebook, it’s time to sever
our ties with the masters who pull the levers

check your sources, be diligent
we in an age where information is militant
you see they plant bombs in the ignorant
ready to go off on the innocent
the new weapons of mass distractions
tools which distort what actually happens
makes you get mad, smash your tablets
passive habits, brains washed and damaged

Chorus:

If you wanna run your mouth
You better have your facts checked
Ignorance is a tool for the fascists

Cause if you’re gonna run your mouth
You’re gonna get your facts checked
ignorance is a tool for the fascists
