Lyrics
It's our birthright
keep that in mind
they'll steal our future
but they'll never steal our spite
There's no fun in fixing
if the problems rhyme
There's no point in looking
past our time
Whether you're cause or effect
doesn't sober me up at all
it's been a pleasant attempt at community
but I think I'm gonna go throw up in the hall
And people too poor to eat
serve people too depressed to work
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't
outwitted, outrun
and very fine with that
Outsmarted, outdone
and not even mad
outwitted, outrun,
but free at last
no need to fight
no need to rest
Any damn hour in a room with you
better pays well
at what point did a pointless struggle
become a kindergarten show and tell
you seem to think that since you're alright
this world kind of is as well
I swear, your bright red flag
is slowly becoming pastel
people too sober to cope
clean up people too drugged to talk
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't
I find it increasingly hard
to walk the thin line
between relatable
and edgy
and maybe it just is
maybe it just is sort of hard
none of this is really fair
and it has been like this from the start
but also it wasn't rigged
and I guess that's probably why
I shouldn't blame any of you
for idly standing by
but also, fuck that
and go fuck yourself at your leisure
if I can't feel happy
I won't feel self-aware either
go ahead, go ahead
name your daughter Africa
so when she gets
raped by white guys in school,
at least she's in character
