Oh no .
What can we say
The end is near
We were groomed to be prey
What it means.
Broken down into groups
Made more vulnerable
From dopamine loops
Social media.
Makes you easier to use
Stay confused because
they told you to
I think it's gross
How a war can start
Because of what you post
Tear the world apart
I THINK THEY DID IT NOW I REALLY THINK THEY DID IT NOW
DOESN'T TAKE A SCIENTIST TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Oh no
They think that we lost it
The ability to reason
Is a trait viewed toxic
Ya got it?
It being whatever
Thought in your mind that
Can make you feel better
Placebo
It isn't for me tho
Turn off your tv
Along with your ego
It's evil
And controls all people
Free yourself of hate
Learn to be peaceful

Shatter

Cash in all sales are final
Part of the system and part of the cycle
Its vital that you do what you're meant to
Prophet or martyr past life's that you went thru
Because we're doomed nothing we can do
Observe and report a style we've succumb to
Welcome to a world you escaped from yet run to
Kind of like a party full of enemies your crew threw
It's you dude
The problem at hand
You dont understand
I have a gun in my hand
A bullet in my back
A matter of fact
It feels like itch ya just cannot scratch
I think it's sad that
The world has come to this
I cannot speak for all but society is a fall risk
All a miss with no one to blame
You're a pawn and to them and this is just a game
Nothing ever mattered so get the fuck down
Take your old tired boots and stick em to the ground
Take to the governor
Take to the state
Free the prisoners and
Burn the banks
You're not crazy
Nothing ever mattered
No point in a dream
The system is meant to shatter
Changing the system starts with destroying it
If you get the chance to build out of the ashes dont fuck it up

Welcome to the Shitshow

Counting down the minutes to waste another day
Locked inside my mind but in my room i would stay
Away from the pain and needless suffering
That's the thing what I mean
I can't even leave
Pandemic outside
Economy in a mess
The biggest war we face
Is here in the us
Being attacked by ourselves agrees
For profit
Vote it in ourselves
Cant stop it
Try to keep a straight face
There's scum that really hate race
they waste space
Ignorant
Disgrace
Internet patriot
Social network madman
Can't be trusted
But the gun he gave his son can
And the clan had a plan
for when the kid ran
Police scan said let him go
blue was in the know
Did he get shot 7 times in the back
Sad fact but the answer is No
Welcome
To the shit show
I've seen a couple years
Drank a million beers
But 2020 has to be
the worst time of my life
Hey sci fi
I'd like to leave now
Wheres the time machine
I could see how
We would need it
But someone got it
And we are here now
Is that what caused it?
This is stupid
Damn terrible
Waste of a planet
Unbearable
Who wants it
They can have it
Not my world
I wouldn't chance it
I'm outta here
And it's the saddest
Thing to give up On
is what we knew
Our whole lives
We're not innocent

The Unknown

You know just what to say
But ya never know what to do
If ya asking me ya gotta problem with your attitude
You're a lewd crude dude at the bottom of the food chain
Think ya need a new brain
Old one went insane
Made us live in disdain
Beliefs that gave us both beef
Structure of society wasn't meant to keep peace
Fuck the police
Abolish ice
Smash the state
Put up a fight
This is the new world
We don't know where we are going
Full speed ahead whichever way the wind is blowing
Roots you cut were from our home
We are the nomad
We are unknown
We are the unknown
Burning hot like a smoking gun
No ones safe no where to run
Treat us as lepers we all roam as one
You cant mistake it
And no one can fake it
Trust is fragile
We trust you wont break it
But you did
And that shit last forever
And how you did it
Doesnt make it any better
Wear a color coded hate
of your choice
Belong to something
you dont need a voice
Armed with fake news
Sopport of the blue
I'm not saying you're wrong its sad
You really think it's true
Everywhere ya look
Ya see a little more greed
One for the farmer
A flock for the king
A thousand children starving
Some how they can sleep
Why fight each other
We have rich to eat
