As we’re given just a sound byte

As we’re given just a sound byte

What we consume is distraction

This causing a bad reaction

That makes us want to pick a fight

Looking at other’s views with spite

Living with dissatisfaction

As we’re given just a sound byte

What we consume is distraction

Let’s not stop on a news highlight

Or the habit of inaction

Be concrete leaving abstraction

Put the whole truth up to the light

As we’re given just a sound byte
