we’ve got a glut of long range truth bombs for each falsified deceit /
for every monument you’ve built on bullshit / we’ll gladly watch you eat
gag on each piece of redacted history / every word of stifled speech
can it be said
from ones with marks on their heads
can it be heard
from the mouths who have fervently served
can we be taught
more often than not, by those we’ve forgot
amplified voices / ring out in chorus
wolves playing sheep / on the hunt for scapegoats/ Alternative “facts” in air quotes
/ a vocal minority / stealing airtime from the masses / bullhorn fast against their asses
amplified voices / ring out in chorus

Curtain Call

looking for an exit / all you find are more dead ends
access is a prison / turned your back on all your friends
your mind becomes a maze / hope against hope it’s a phase
did you think that thought was yours? / it was planted
your wish for something more / will not be granted
the only way out is through / the only way out
the only way out is through / the only way out
lip service for / the class war / paid in full /
no change, no better world / no brighter days /
who told you this would do?
did you think that thought was yours? / it was planted
your wish for something more / will not be granted
take a final bow / hold for the applause
as the axe comes down / the lights fade out
did you think that thought was yours? / it was planted
your wish for something more / will not be granted
the only way out is through

20 floors below / hunkered down
in an ICBM silo / systems I all but bled dry /
crumbling / far above synthetic skies
failing! falling! gnashing! gnawing!
I played it by the book and now these fucks just wanna eat me / I’m far too rich for their blood /
I did all I could and I won’t let these fucks defeat me / I’m far too rich for their blood
the pitchfork scares / me, more than I care / about equity / equality / what of me? / and mine / dystopian urges emerge / and I’m not dying / like these other swine
I played it by the book and now these fucks just wanna eat me / I’m far too rich for their blood /
I did all I could and I won’t let these fucks defeat me / I’m far too rich for their blood

in this world of ours / it's all half-staffs and wildfires /
armed teachers / deceivers
deniers / proud liars / would you recognize the truth?
could burning be prescribed / in hopes to revitalize
a culture overgrown / yet fallow / fading
rugged and on our own / we suffer
shots fired in a classroom / mark time we pass through
this misanthropocene / sociopaths in my dreams
suffer fools we created / society’s decline
illusions of “progress” veiling / reality’s demise
