[Intro]
Scroll, scroll
Everybody knows
Talk loud
But the truth stays closed
[Verse 1]
Red cap, blue sign
Same street, new line
Argue over headlines
Never read the fine lines
Clip from a clip from a clip, out of frame
Ten-second fury
Thirty years of pain
Grandma share a post
Think she doing something noble
Algorithm laughing
Feeding every little quarrel
Uncle at the cookout
Swear he got the secret file
Only watched one guy
Talk angry for a while
Facts in his face
He just squints, leans back
Says, "Feels kinda wrong"
Like feelings beat stats
We pick teams first
Then we pick our truth
Turn a whole damn country
To a comment feud
[Chorus]
We got left, we got right
But we both sides blind
Every thumb war fight
Over half a headline
Everybody say "facts"
But they mean "my side"
Got the truth in the light
Still we both sides blind
(yeah, we both sides blind)
[Verse 2]
Talk shows preach
Like they prophets of the nation
Selling you a story
With a side of indignation
Call it breaking news
But it broke us instead
Turn neighbors to enemies
Family to threads
Dad hit play
On a rant every night
Mom shake her head
But she share her own type
Two different channels
Same split screen
Each one swear
They the freedom team
We don't fact-check
We just vibe-check fear
"Sounds like what I think"
So we call it sincere
Stats on the table
We just move the goalpost
Only trust sources
That agree with us most
Ask, "What proof would change you?"
Silence, blank stare
We don't love what's true
We love feeling right here
[Chorus]
We got left, we got right
But we both sides blind
Every thumb war fight
Over half a headline
Everybody say "facts"
But they mean "my side"
Got the truth in the light
Still we both sides blind
(ay, we both sides blind)
[Bridge]
Who benefits
When we scream and divide?
Somebody counting clicks
While we pick our pride
What if being wrong
Wasn't shame, wasn't death?
Could we lay our flags down
Just to take one breath?
[Chorus]
We got left, we got right
But we both sides blind
Every thumb war fight
Over half a headline
Everybody say "facts"
But they mean "my side"
Got the truth in the light
Still we both sides blind
(yeah, we both sides blind)
