I been walking and talking
Singing and dancing
Laughing and joking as well
About all of the things that are happening
While trying to ignore that smell
But sometimes it gets through
There's nothing you can do
In fact I just got a big whiff
I know you can smell it
You know I can smell it
We both know what it is
[Hook]
But I don't wanna bury my head in the sand
I know there are things that I don't understand
But I can smell the bullshit from a mile away
And, man it smells really strong today
[Verse 2]
I'm sick of slogans
Or teary emotives
Sponsored and branded events
Target marketing
Product placement
Manufactured consent
It's completely consuming
We're swimming in bullshit
No wonder it smells like it does
Somebody save me
Take me to safety
At least give me a wash
[Hook]
Cause I don't wanna bury my head in the sand
I know there are things that I don't understand
But I can smell the bullshit from a mile away
And, man it smells really strong today
[Verse 3]
Sold off his honesty
Owned by a company
Under an umbrella of fear
Decorative lies
And soundbites that sound like
Things that you wanna hear
Well it can't be that hard
To find the truth
Or opinion without an agenda
I'll tell you what though
If you come round to my house
Y'better bring the air freshener
[Hook]
I don't wanna bury my head in the sand
I know there are things that I don't understand
But I can smell the bullshit from a mile away
And, man it smells really strong today
[Outro]
Cause we know they're lying
They know they're lying
We know that they know that know they're lying
For fuck's sake
Can't we just tell the truth?
Tell it to me
And I'll tell it to you
