The Plague returns with a vengeance in the new music video for the song "Headline" off the new album The Divided States of Hysteria. "I was so sick of seeing legacy media straight up lie about the details of events just to fit a narrative that benefits political and financial agendas," explains The Plague. "This song is venting and confronting those powerful voices in todays culture."

Lyrics:
We've got people to use
So we'll take a half truth
And we'll make it a headline (make it a headline)
You'll take the abuse
And believe the fake news
Cause we'll make it a headline, make it a headline
Control the narrative, control the speech
And exploit the ones that follow
Monopolize the market then force feed
And infect the ones that swallow
They start to move, they start to march in sync
To the resentment-fueled agenda
We spin and sensationalize
To steal you soul and melt your mind
To do whatever we decide
Destroy the innocence, Destroy the youth
As identity's dissected
We'll spread the evil and we'll spread the filth
'til you conditioned to accept it
The stations sensor the conspiracies and enforce the victim brainwash
"I pledge allegiance to the latest fad, and the divided states of hysteria"
You'll believe what you want to believe
What we tell you that you want to believe
To build the trust, and heal the shame
Fill hearts with hope, and lives with grace
Truth, our shining light
To guide us through the night
But we lie
We don't have integrity, tongue of the enemy
We don't have what's safe, no we don't
We have greed
We have pride
Self-fulfilling prophecies of hate
We've got lies, we've got lies
