Comedy X - Headlines by Gen X published on 2024-04-19T13:27:41Z Acting out with a sly, slick grin A maelstrom of false sentiment Ripples in a sea of tales (tales unfold) What's real and fake, it all derails In a whirlwind of your creation We're adrift in your sensation, dysphasia You project your tales to the back of the room Crafting illusions in the narrative you loom And the crowd is hushed, they're drawn into the scene Where facts and fiction are both unseen Each gesture grand, every lie a lure In the act of delusion, you're so sure Through smoke and mirrors, you play your part Craft a world of marvels to capture the hearts Hiding the real in a masquerade so keen Where illusions are fact, if you know what I mean In your grand performance, you never miss a cue Drawing all eyes as you construct your view You're always talking in the headlines Your voice loud with your powerful flare And you start spinning, the truth unwinding You weave such tales, you pull from thin air And then we're doubting, believe your charm And we can't discern the truth from deceit With a smile you sell, your stories, they soar Fabrications take flight, but we can't ignore The way the facts twist, they bend and they warp Under spotlights of lies, the honesty's torched Yet, we're all ears, hanging on every word We're locked in the theatre of the absurd With a flick of your wrist, the world's redefined A tapestry of myths so intricately twined You're the puppeteer in a grand masquerade In the show of charlatans, you've got it made Media cir-cus, your stage so wide You spew the fables where truths should reside Drama unfolds (stage lights are bright) The audience gasps at the spectacle's sight Behind the smoke and the mirrors you thrive (you thrive) Crafting a narrative, so slick and alive In a world where the facts are yours to bend You take the spotlight, the crowd you befriend Genre Soundtrack
