Both Sides Blind

Scroll, scroll

Everybody knows

Talk loud

But the truth stays closed

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

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)

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

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)

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?

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)
