Welcome to the land that’s living up inside my brain
Let me do a little show for you to see if you feel the same
Seems the world is fucked
We’re out of luck
And clearly they’re to blame (everything’s insane)
But if you walk with me you’ll realise it’s always been this way
But it’s not too late to change
So watch yourself
I’m switching lanes
I need your help
Cos it would be better if we were together so we could endeavour to fix the whole world
Cos it feeds us
Now it needs us
And we know that the people above us are fucked so it’s time that we tear them to pieces
Cos all they do is deceive us
Telling lies and pretending to please us
In the name of the sun and the ghost and the father
Hiding behind the words of…
It’s nothing that we do not know
It’s up to us to overthrow
The system of oppression causing mass depression and fucking up the whole globe
I might seem a little too angry for someone who’s benefited from this system my entire life
And it might be a bit hypocritical for me to scream and complain that’s it’s fucked when I’m white
Sorta straight
And a guy who’s obsession is love and togetherness
But fuck it I’m done with this
If we can’t be the same then I don’t wanna live
But I do wanna live
I’ve got so much to give and I know you do too so we’ll build from within
Together as one
We’re here in this moment
It’s time to rise up
Complacency is condonement
