Conspiracy theorists live among us. I think they have always been here, though the current crop are more disturbing than usual. That hasn’t stopped me being amused by the general silliness of most conspiracy theories.
When writing a song I almost invariably write too many words. Usually I get ruthless with a red pen to wrestle it down to a manageable size. This song seems to be the one I’ve chosen to be the repository for all the words I’ve eliminated from other songs.
Originally I thought that this song should reference lots of popular conspiracies. As it developed I realised that would make it impossibly long. There really are a lot of conspiracy theories out there. I’ve ended up with a representative sample.
I hope I haven’t left out your personal favourites.
Doing my own research looking high and low
Following the breadcrumbs wherever they go
I’m doing my own research
It’s obvious to me
That everywhere I look I see another conspiracy
Verse 1:
I started off going to church
They taught me how to pray
I did research in a big old book
I’d believe whatever they’d say
I don’t go to church no more
No one tells me what to believe
It’s up to me and so you see
I believe whatever I please
Verse 2:
I believe in science
But not like they teach in school
All them scientists got an agenda
They’re trying to play me for a fool
I’ve gotten good at finding the truth
It doesn’t really take very long
Just a couple of hours on Google
I can prove all the scientists wrong
Chorus:
Doing my own research looking high and low
Following the breadcrumbs wherever they go
I’m doing my own research
It’s obvious to me
That everywhere I look I see another conspiracy
Verse 3:
I already know a whole lot
‘Bout things they don’t want us to know
And I’m never going be a sheeple
And go wherever they want me to go
I’ve found my very own tribe.
We’ve got a very independent way
All we talk about is conspiracy
And I believe whatever they say
Long bridge:
It happened to me after Kennedy
Was assassinated that I started to see
The official story it just couldn’t be
And in a flash of light I saw conspiracy
I opened my ears to what everybody said
Pretty soon I figured out that Paul was dead
I was bound to find the truth cuz I found the key
And I wasn’t going to let ’em keep lying to me.
After a detour to learn about karma
I turned my attention to big pharma
Them people cured cancer a long time ago
But you think they ever plan to let anybody know?
Turns out there’s money in keeping people sick
They invented vaccination as a money making trick
If we’re sick and alive – they can always make us pay
But I’d rather catch a real disease any day
A false flag is planted by a crisis actor
Everything’s a clue or another risk factor
I’m always looking to see the man behind the curtain
You can never fool me, I’ll tell you that much for certain
Q’s got the answers – it’s totally plain
Everything is obvious when you got a trained brain
So many secrets and all of them hidden
I have all this knowledge they tell me is forbidden
Someone from the deep state wants to make me vaccinate
and make me drink the water that they intend to fluoridate
The birthers and the truthers are a practical mob
The showed me 911 was an inside job
The Rothschilds run the chemtrail show
Maybe the Illuminati, bet you don’t know
Maybe George Soros and maybe Bill Gates
Only a few of us know the whole truth – just me and a few of my mates
Chorus:
Doing my own research looking high and low
Following the breadcrumbs wherever they go
I’m doing my own research
It’s obvious to me
That everywhere I look I see another conspiracy
That everywhere I look I see another conspiracy
