No ones listening outside your echo chamber
You brought a bullhorn into an elevator
You’re ignored as you scream about the danger 
You’ve got a truth bomb  with no detonator

You need look for lies  when truths not clear
You must disseminate what you fear
 pull on strings until they start to unwind
You’d be surprised at what you find  

Don’t be so quick to shout ridiculous claims
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims
Everyone consider ridiculous claims 
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims  

All this time  looking for alternative facts 
You’re way too close to see all the cracks 
All those theories that you like to present 
Are filtered through  your own discontent  

I hear about it all from friends of mine
we get together in a group online
My family worries 'bout me all the time 
I just tell them that I’m doing fine  

Don’t be so quick to shout ridiculous claims
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims
Everyone consider ridiculous claims 
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims  

Preach the “truth” 
to tell yourself your free
Then lock yourself Inside 
some crazy conspiracy

Did you take the time 
to think it through?
 It’s out there 
now what you gonna do?

Don’t be so quick to shout ridiculous claims
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims
Everyone consider ridiculous claims 
Truth might stick to ridiculous claims

Ridiculous Claims

The Chum - Ridiculous Claims

The Messengers

I’ve seen friends disappear 
Through their ignorance and fear  There’s no shame in standing here
I use my voice to speak

There’s no room for apathy 
Marching for humanity 
Until every soul is free
We use our voices to speak

This is for the messengers
 With a spine
The dedicated protesters
for Palestine 

Wisdom grows from humility
Found by thinking critically 
Go ahead and be who you wanna be
But don’t regret you didn’t speak
 The truth just won’t let you hide From hate committing genocide
It’s what you choose to keep inside That’ll eat you up and make you weak

This is for the messengers
 With a spine
The dedicated protesters
for Palestine
