Says Who?

Well you and I, we both try to contribute to society.
We do our time in that daily grind, be as good as we can be.
If that ain’t enough, there’s too much stuff, to keep up with every day.
A conflagration of information comin’ at us in every way.
To sort out this mess, we’ve been blessed with experts and gurus.
To break it down, turn it all around and find the news that we can use.

Says who? Says who? I wanna see the credentials, for those tellin’ us what’s new
Says who? Says who? You might hear it, read it, watch it, but that don’t mean it’s true.

Don’t get me wrong, we need a little news to know what’s goin’ on.
But all the folks you could ever believe are sadly dead and gone.
A lot of reportage is just garbage, the agenda is crystal clear.
Do they check their facts? Is it just an act to boost their own career.
We got unnamed sources, heard on the street, speaking anonymously.
It’s been said and widely reported, there’s a scoop for you and me.

Says who? Says who? Who are these people? I Don't think they have a clue.
Says who? Says who? You might hear it, read it, watch it, but that don’t mean it’s true.

There’s bloggers, analysts, talk show hosts and website CEOs
Political hacks and celebrities, all of them in the know.
And just when you think it can’t get worse, we got YouTube, Facebook and Tweets.
Now anyone at all can chime right in, golly ain’t that sweet?

Says who? Says who? All kinds of scary people tryin’ to tell us what to do
Says who? Says who? Don’t need you thinkin’ for me, if it's all the same to you
Says who? Says who? When I hear it, read it, watch it, I’ll figure out what to do.
When you hear it, read it, watch it, you’ll figure out what to do.
When I hear it, read it, watch it, I’ll figure out what to do.
