Two Sides
(2021 ©William Livesay)

I didn't know what I was getting into
When I posted that picture on my Instagram
The crazies came out swinging
What the hell was I thinking when I posted that?
One little comment can start a fire
Seems we all have to feed the flame
Pack up your bags, get out of town
Everybody knows your name

It's true, it's true, there's a conspiracy
I know because I read it in the newsfeed
ideas about religion and politics
two sides along with the ridiculous

I decided to share some philosophy
About race and a little humanity
I thought talking up the greater good was safe
But the joke’s on me
We’re all privy to endless information
Internal thoughts about masturbation
No thank you please you’ve got some weird disease
And I don’t what to see

It's true, it's true, there's a conspiracy
I know because I read it in the newsfeed
Ideas about religion and politics
Two sides along with the ridiculous

I try to recognize misinformation
Falsehood narratives are so alive and well
Made up by someone's wild imagination
Then shared on a page as something they can sell
Families torn apart by opinion over fact
And friendships ruined that won't be coming back
Some Ignorant fool refusing to believe the world is melting
As the polar caps recede

It's true, it's true, there's a conspiracy
I know ‘cause I read it in the newsfeed
Ideas about religion and politics
Two sides ... whoa oh oh … along with the ridiculous
