The Interrupters, "Outrage" from Fight the Good Fight (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: This post is all but identical to a post from last month's SKAfter Party, with this slight twist: In your charity, please pray for my parents, who are slavishly devoted to the fearmongers & hucksters of television news. My father watches television every hour that he's awake, most of it Fox News & M.S.N.B.C. My mother is far more like to skip Mass than ever to miss an episode of 60 Minutes.
"Your eyes are glued, glued to the news,
They say there’s two sides, you better choose,
A civil war they want you fighting for,
The ones in power, who always want more.

"They put a mask on to speak their minds,
They need a veil to hide behind,
The mob is howling like wolves trapped in a cage,
This will go down in history as the age
Of outrage! Yeah!
Of outrage! Yeah!

"A house of cards, about to fall,
Where they go one, they go all,
People are hurting, they feel the burden,
They get from learning what's behind the curtain.

"They put a mask on to speak their minds,
They need a veil to hide behind,
The mob is howling like feedback from the stage,
This will go down in history as the age
Of outrage! Yeah!
Of outrage! Yeah!

Yeah!
(This is the age)
Of outrage! Yeah!
(This is the age)
Of outrage! Yeah!"
