The Herd - Spin Cycle lyrics

You're not here there's a sense of fear
Everyone's fighting they want to be heard
The excerpts state that it's too late
The people have spoken but where are they now
See I don't know what is real
Who is right and what I feel any more
See I'm not sure what's the truth of it all
Please won't somebody tell me the score

Follow me, follow me, follow me, I follow who
I see you hooked up on my feed too
So see through, another slow news day
What the people say
Spin doctor gotta get paid
Watch which way the polls swings
And the story evolves from
Rational to revolving
Revolving door debate centred of the
He said - she said
Blind being willingly lead
Shock jock jumping off the deep end again
Scratching empty heads in
Intellectual dead ends
These are our core beliefs
Our mission statement
That's util the public says they hate them
Then it's time for the elegant backflip
Some eloquent bullshit
One news cycle and that's it
Using stats to cover up facts
But 77 percent of people know that

And the polls put us in the lead
We're out in front we have
Everything that you need
We'll be what you believe
We'll be what you need
The illusion of conversation
That we participate in
This echo chamber going round in circles
I'll be what you need
I'll be what you believe

Enough of your polling
It murdered the surprise
Enough of that whole thing
That got us paralysed
Enough with the holding information analysed
Speaking out before the findings of
The focus group is ill-advised
But the findings isn't getting wise
What do you think
I mean, seriously, what do you think
Not the pitter patter bit of
Rat the media print
Where you don't even sound convinced
Ironic given we're the Herd
But these are my words
Imagine if I surveyed you
People for each verse
And delivered in a country slang
For the people in Bourke
Demographically more flexible if
We don't curse but fuck that for a joke
I won't fall for that
The stakes are high but to forfeit that
What am I a robot with a battery pack?
Re-enacting the rap with the best reaction?
It just won't happen, there is no old Tim
There is no new Tim, there is just Tim
With an ability to say what I think
Without the need of a group
Yo to give me the hint
