about

From the band: "Let’s get political. The title is a pun on “Fox News” and fake news (as if it wasn’t obvious). It’s us holding a mirror to our neighbours to the south and diagnosing some of the more obvious issues with them and by extension the rest of the western world. Making use of a stadium punk style sound (a la Billy Talent), the band explores ideas of consumerism, kabuki theatre democracy, individual responsibility, and what it means to exist in the world we do. The song is catchy, simple, and easy to shout along with and is the kind of song that would galvanize young budding activists to dive deeper into the ideas we convey."

lyrics

You clap but you don't even know why,
Your celebration ain't even justified.
Your flags come in many shapes and sizes,
But they can't hide the fear that's in-between your eyes.

Your votes are bought off the shelves of the American dream store,
And you fight a losing battle, against yourselves.
Corporations, Salutations, Resource, Misinformation.
It's all happening while you brush your teeth,
in the suburbs of your denial.

Abuse is the motivation you need.
A little pain here and there can go a long way.
Keep me numb to the fractures in their skin,
ignorance is my right as an American.

But deep down I know that it's all wrong.
What can I do? I'm just one person.
I'd rather live blind and on my knees,
than get shot trying to get on my feet.
