The Lost Cause Fallacy
You can show them charts, you can show them proof,
They’ll still call it lies or call fake news.
They’ll twist what’s real till it fits their frame,
Then point at you and call you names and insane.
They’ve got opinions stronger than facts,
Reality showing lots of cracks,
And every word they can’t defend,
They’ll just deny again and again.
Chorus
They’ll drown out doubt with an ignorant thought,
And can’t see the fact that their mind’s been bought.
Verse 2
Facts don’t matter when thinking has failed,
They spout their hate, society is derailed
Logic knocks but they won’t open the door,
Afraid to hear what may equal their score
They’ll shout “freedom!” while chained to lies,
Call doubt the devil in disguise.
And when their world comes crashing down,
They’ll still wear ignorance like a paper crown.
Chorus
They’ll drown out doubt with an ignorant thought,
And can’t see the fact that their mind’s been bought.
