A person slowly succumbing to madness, believing that everything (TVs, newspapers etc.) are trying to indoctrinate the masses with lies
Mashup (We Don't Believe What's On TV - Twenty One Pilots)

Yak yak yak!

We can't conceive what's on TV
can dictate just what we believe
It's like some guy named Richard drives the screen
(He's an engineer from I.T.)

I read to know
But news is like what's on the air
'Cause Richard prints the sound, and ships it Fed-Ex Ground
To confiding news stands everywhere.

I don't care what's on the air
I just wanna know what's on their mind
For real, none of this lying stuff!  It makes me old,
But because I'm old they try to lie.

Yak yak yak!
Yak Yak Yak!

Alright.  It gets worse.
What if the truth does not happen?
Do they just change what I've told my friends?
Just hook them up to an I.V.
with Sodium Pentothal; We'll see!

We need to know!
When ISIS falls, we'll still be here,
The media's on the ground, they make their pretty sounds
They tell us, "no problems over there."

But people care what's over there!
We just wanna know the news tonight
Before the spin from MSNBC takes hold.
But because of them I do think twice.

I just stare here in my chair
Watching Richard put stuff in my mind.
I'll never say I didn't fight what I've been told
I'm just telling you to please think twice.

Yak yak yak! (x 10)
