[Verse 1]
Newsfeed nightmare
scrolling like a slot machine
They laughed at the tinfoil
called it fever dream
Blue check prophets
selling every clean lie
Now the quiet kid’s charts
match the black sky
Classroom maps
didn’t mark these zones
Secret roads drawn
in the cracks of our phones
Smile for the scan
at the sliding glass gate
Barcode halo
on the edge of your fate (hey!)
[Chorus]
Conspiracy’s the headline
you can’t change the channel now
Every “never gonna happen”
getting stamped as truth somehow
World you know
falling through the floorboard
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
Crumbling fast
to a new world order (oh)
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
[Verse 2]
Late night host
used to roast that clip
Now the same script
printed on his cue card lips
Papers in the burner
names in the redacted
Every “crazy” thread
suddenly exacted
Old streets fenced
with a checkpoint smile
Slick black trucks
doing laps every mile
You said “take the deal
it’ll all blow past”
Now the contract ink
wrapped around your wristband pass
[Chorus]
Conspiracy’s the headline
you can’t change the channel now
Every “never gonna happen”
getting stamped as truth somehow
World you know
falling through the floorboard
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
Crumbling fast
to a new world order (yeah)
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
[Bridge]
They said “crazy”
now they say “standard”
They said “random”
now it looks patterned
They said “trust us”
kept both hands hidden
They said “for you”
but the rules felt prison
So what you gonna do
when the cracks run wide?
Keep calm slogans
or pick a side?
When the mask comes off
of the smiling reporter
Do you stand in line
or step out of order? (step out)
[Chorus]
Conspiracy’s the headline
you can’t change the channel now
Every “never gonna happen”
getting stamped as truth somehow
World you know
falling through the floorboard
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
Crumbling fast
to a new world order (woah)
Crumbling fast
to a new world order
