Instant Automatic Outrage Machine

from Basically Blue, vol. 1 by Longboat

lyrics

Have you ever felt
Like you’ve been guided
To a land where it’s all
Quite one-sided
Well, perhaps you have
Perhaps not, by the way

Have you ever felt
Suddenly furious
At something trivial
Nothing too serious
How quickly did your knickers get
Twisted taut, tell me

Do you feel the outrage? (Do you feel it?)
Can you feel the outrage? (Can you feel it?)
Look at that front page
Oh say, have you seen?
Well, it originates from
Someplace I guess we’ll say
A kind of instant automatic machine

It doesn’t care about
Your deepest desires
Seething anger is
All it requires
Your wrath’s so useful
And versatile, yes it is

It doesn’t care if
You’re in a great hurry
Only seconds till you’re all
Sound and fury
You’re sure that the enemy
Is dumb and hostile, so

Do you feel the outrage? (Do you feel it?)
Can you feel the outrage? (Can you feel it?)
Look at that front page
Oh say, have you seen?
Well, it originates from
Someplace I guess we’ll say
A kind of instant automatic machine

Where does all this end
How far does it run?
I don’t see a way
Once it’s begun
Why use puny words
When you’ve got a gun? Everyone
Get in on all the fun, so

Do you feel the outrage? (Do you feel it?)
Can you feel the outrage? (Can you feel it?)
Look at that front page
Oh say, have you seen?
Well, it originates from
Someplace I guess we’ll say
A kind of instant automatic machine
