Scannerman - Original Song

“Most Fell for the Bait” is a raw, no-fluff song about the moment you realise fear can be packaged, sold, and used to turn people against each other. It’s not just about what happened — it’s about what it taught us: how fast truth gets managed, how easy shame becomes a weapon, and how hard it is to unsee it once you do.

This track is for anyone who stayed quiet to keep the peace… and regretted it. For anyone who asked questions and got labeled for it. For anyone ready to think clearly again.

Listen loud. Sit with the words.
Lyrics inspired by a real conversation + lived experience.


Most fell for the bait

[Intro]
One simple rule of reality—
when the same money feeds the policy,
the headlines,
and the stamp that says “true”…
you’re not in a system.
You’re in a script.

[Verse 1]
Logos on the screen like halos in the dark,
“Trust us” in the banner while they’re trading in the parts.
Same sponsors, new slogans, different suits in a row,
and the facts change quietly—no one says “we don’t know.”

Glasses fog, elastic bites, I’m standing back in line,
reading fear off strangers like it’s printed on a sign.
No cops, no fences—just a look that says “behave,”
and a room full of good people learning how to misbehave.

[Pre-Chorus]
They didn’t prove it, they performed it—nightly, on the feed,
they made a feeling feel like duty, made a symbol feel like need.
And if you asked for something solid—anything you could defend—
they didn’t answer the question…
they attacked the person asking. (yeah…)

[Chorus]
Most fell for the bait (bait)
Put a price on our panic, put a script on our face (echo: face)
Most fell for the bait (bait)
And the quiet got heavy when you didn’t say the same.

Fear you can wear, shame you can share,
no badge, no gun—just the room going cold when you stare.
Most fell for the bait…
and the scary part is: it worked.

[Verse 2]
Kids learning language from the top half of a day,
trying to read the world while the world looked away.
“Don’t worry, they adapt,” like that settles the cost—
yeah, people adapt to damage…
that doesn’t mean nothing got lost.

Streets full of leftovers, straps in the gutter,
oceans chewing plastic into pieces of “whatever.”
Meanwhile real air turns metal in the tunnels underground,
but symbols get the spotlight—
real problems don’t get found. (mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
Truth wasn’t debated, it was handled with care,
dissent wasn’t human, it was “danger in the air.”
Yesterday’s “never” became today’s “well, maybe…”
no apologies, no names—
just a faster new

[Chorus]
Most fell for the bait (bait)
Put a price on our panic, put a script on our face (echo: face)
Most fell for the bait (bait)
And the quiet got heavy when you didn’t say the same.
