Story, story, story
Opinion, opinion, opinion
Emotion, emotion, emotion
Exclusion, exclusion, exclusion
Knee jerk, knee jerk, knee jerk
Decision, decision, decision
Lack of, lack of, lack of
Instincts, instincts, instincts

Fake news
Fake news
Fake news
Fake news
Is reality really just reputable
On something that's proven credible
A half truth is not a truth at all
Two half truths they equal fiction
Down the rabbit hole
Of misinformation
Factual fail
(Much worse than propaganda)
Far from stated facts
It is a bunch of crap
You are in a trap
This song is not a song (you are wrong)
What is there to believe if we play along
What is fact and what is a simple lie
Do your research to know what to verify
Is the NEWS you read fully certified
Fact from fiction/truth over opinion
I have a mind of my very own
And know the difference between right and wrong
I will make my own decisions
And not fall to falling into fallible traits
(This is not a dream! But your alternative facts acts as if it is one!)
Made up, made up, made up
Unreal, unreal, unreal
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense
Surreal, surreal, surreal
Sex cults, sex cults, sex cults
Chemtrails, chemtrails, chemtrails
Windmills, windmills, windmills
Cancer, cancer, cancer
Contorted, contorted, contorted
Distorted, distorted, distorted
Bending, bending, bending
Gaslight, gaslight, gaslight
Influence, influence, influence
Wrong choices, wrong choices, wrong choices
Consensus, consensus, consensus
Error! Error! Error!
Is reality really just reputable
On something that's proven credible
A half truth is not a truth at all
Two half truths they equal fiction
Down the rabbit hole
Of misinformation
Factual fail
(Much worse than propaganda)
Far from stated facts
It is a bunch of crap
You are in a trap
This song is not a song (you're still wrong)
Information’s been there all along
These are the facts you deny
Your choices! You fail to verify
Things made up, invention that just detracts
Blindly believe without backing up the facts
Equals walking crudely blindfolded
Into a blind curve on a busy road
You're not dreaming. Your lack of being in the mindset of truth makes it like it's your world, oblivious of your own outward harming of the contempt that hides you to anything real. You drown in your own genuine ingenuity. Estivate in your own fragile bubble, quickly going down, down, down, touching the ground and busting out to what should destroy your perceptions of distorted outlook, hurtful and full of shithood power that can lead into a path of destruction. Because you choose to believe what should not be believed that is made believe. I choose not to believe that make believe and accept actuality. This is the true emotion. This is the true emotion. But don't take me up on that.

Masterminded by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum's Moe Staiano, Surplus 1980 is a whip-smart musical collective from Oakland, CA.
Taking cues from the angular punk bands of the 1980s, Surplus 1980 fuses a fierce, muscular attack with experimental out-jazz and couples that with Staiano's playful lyrics, updating the angular rhythms of post-punk's old guard to a modern-day soundtrack of uneasy listening....more
Using a broad palette of samples, found sounds, and instrumentation, Inventions' 2nd LP aims to challenge and comfort. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 20, 2015
