Hit me up but don’t collaborate on much
Keep holed up in this fantasy, no human touch,
Just bars of isolation and chemical crutch,
Remembering you fondly, but don’t come ‘round much
Rush the stands because it’s getting warmer,
They’re poisoning my world, it’s sick, like Jeffery Dahmer
Financial insecurity without no warning,
Independence is depending on underperforming
Politicians who only give a fuck about the profit
And if you dare to ask for more, they get their guns and yell “Stop”
Demands start getting made, no more communication
Cuz the dialogue was always “Die you poor dogs” nation
Radicalized beyond all prior fucking recognition
Meanwhile, every day, more of your kids go missing
Next time you’re at the office, watch the boss ass-kissing
Do you really want to keep doing tricks for a living?

Everybody’s telling me to see their way,
In a culture war, America slowly decays,
Conformity transforming this economy,
Adapt or die, but either way you’re fucked like me
Not like yourself, cuz now you’re a reflection
Of a culture where you’re on a shelf, just dust-collecting,
While the ones who fight are only mocked for being brave,
And the ones who don’t are happy living in their cage
I fear it more and more each day,
The imminent collapse of America’s reign,
The guillotine they’re wheeling out from storage now,
Black hoods on the family of the Orange Crown.
