Chandler Lee Hendricks - Tangled Web Lyrics

Every screen is telling tales
Spinning stories like a ship with sails
Voices echo but they don't align
In the world of news what's yours or mine
Left and right they play the game
Spin the stories all the same
Bought and paid for with their dreams
Selling us some scripted schemes
It's a tangled web we're caught within
Where the truth gets lost and the lies begin
Searching for clarity in the spin
In a world of noise who do we let in
Taxed to the brink the burden's great
Federal and state hard to navigate
Local hands that grip and take
In this struggle how much till we break
They try to sell us endless war
Corporations draining us more
Divide us through color and race
Splitting us up face to face
It's a tangled web we're caught within
Where the truth gets lost and the lies begin
Searching for clarity in the spin
In a world of noise who do we let in
Pushing pills and drugs our way
Profiting from the sickness they convey
Using our lives to feed the war machine
On our backs they end our dreams
No true say in the games they play
K Street deals shape the night and day
Citizens pay the price they choose
In their world we always lose
It's a tangled web we're caught within
Where the truth gets lost and the lies begin
Searching for clarity in the spin
In a world of noise who do we let in
Modern-day slavery beneath the tax
Ruled by a circle of political hacks
The government lies keeps us blind
Silencing voices erasing their kind
Will we ever know who pulls the strings
Behind the curtain where power clings
Promises made then washed away
Behind closed doors they lead us astray
In this maze will we find a way
To cut through the noise and seize the day
With open eyes and hearts that see
Will we seek the truth and set it free
