[Verse 1]
Zap zap trapped in high defnition
The shotgun blasts in 5.1
Another fake's teasing more dull content
Who needs a chimney-cam in Rome?
TV ratings pull the gun on coverage
Freedom of the press confined in glass
Copy and paste for a short attention
You hate to turn it on

[Chorus]
You scan, you scan
You waste your mind in a haze
But once again
You riddle panic waves
The way you learn
The more you believe the more
The grotesque becomes real

[Verse 2]
Slow down, they pretend to be your best friend
Who changed water into tainted wine
Repeating never-ending stories of the mad world
Blunt repetition and you never mind
The world wide web salvation army's
Hunting in the name of law
Copy and paste for a short attention
Don't wanna know it at all
[Chorus]
You scan, you scan
You waste your mind in a haze
But once again
You riddle panic waves
The way you learn
The more you believe the more
The grotesque becomes real
You scan, you scan
You waste your mind in a haze
But once again
You riddle panic waves
The way you learn
The more you resist the more
Your protest becomes real

[Bridge]
I guess you're in trouble
Wondering at the way this spook goes on
Try to understand this
Self-defeating panic waves
We keep holding onto their hands

[Chorus]
You scan, you scan
You waste your mind in a haze
But once again
You riddle panic waves
The way you learn
The more you believe the more
The grotesque becomes real
You scan, you scan
You waste your mind in a haze
But once again
You riddle panic waves
The way you learn
The more you resist the more
Your protest becomes real
