All the good boys
Don't have to pay the bills
Don’t deal with corporate greed
Just live for belly rubs
Treat me like a dog, like their surrogate baby
Cuz they're too indebted now just to start their own family
Don't put me in a cage, I'll be a winning pup
Not like the school to prison pipeline set to lock us up
All the good boys
Don't have to self-censor
Don't have to live in fear
Always get their way
Treat me like your bro, like a tech iconoclast
And show me the new future that co-opted our past
I’ll be your nepotistic heir
In the world your families left in disrepair
All the good boys
All the good boys
One kind’s so much more fun
All the good boys
All the good boys
One kind needs to go down
***
Fed up with same ol' song
Another scapegoat and a trail of lies
Pit the newly disenfranchised whites
Against the masses with the unprotected rights
Who are you to say that to us?
You ain't shit and you never were
You don't really understand us
So don't act like you've got the answers
Fed up with the power-grabbing schemes
The world is dying but you're too proud to react
Sociopathic so-called elites
Fuck off with your tired games
Who are you to say that to us?
You ain't shit and you never were
You don't really understand us
So don't act like you've got the answers
You ain’t shit
You ain’t shit
You ain’t shit and you never were

Strange Land

Violence
At home
Displaced
In fear
What is this strange land?
Not welcomed here or anywhere
Tired and afraid
Everyday I’m breaking down
Strange land
Strange land
Strange land
The life we’re dealt was not our choice
Strange land
Strange land
Strange land
Punished to refuse death
Contained
Abused
Ignored
Erased
You treat me like a criminal
A talking point to win you votes
Take away my children
I am not a stat for you
Strange land
Strange land
Strange land
The life we’re dealt was not our choice
Strange land
Strange land
Strange land
Punished to refuse death
I am a human with dignity and hope

Glowing Screens

Glowing screens are my own true world
A steady place for my needs and hate
Entertain me and exploit me
What would I do without your constant glow?
Give the memes, give me the memes
Tribalism is my new troll kink
Give me the likes, give me the likes
No new followers means I'm failing at life
Glowing screens
Glowing screens
My life is trapped inside a glowing screen
The revolution’s on a glowing screen
The toiling workers bring the quickness with a click
Saint Jobs, Lord Bezos, Master Z
A fake reality for all to see
Give the views, give me the views
Remember to hit like and subscribe
In the DM, in the DM
I’ll slip it in, just don’t get your revenge
Glowing screens
Glowing screens
My life is trapped inside a glowing screen

Heart beat
Fast pulse
Bring life
To your truth
Sacrificed their tongue, sacrificed their young
But the blood lives on and the stories remain
Bodies never forget the lives we inherit
Unleash the burdens and strengths of the past
Big beat
Shake up
Get down
Move around
Stripped of land or forced to move away
Powers that be might try to silence
The coin might buy a few textbook lies
But the narrative lives in our physical ties

Bootstrap culture, nothing but a myth
American dream, nothing but a myth
White man failing up, what a surprise
Work half as hard for twice the pay
It comes as no surprise
Big fat pockets from decades past
Must be nice to sleep at night
Rigged for the interests of the wealthy and the privileged
Cancel America
2009, the Great Recession
Family-sized burden for all to share
Struggling graduates, opioid addictions, climate changing natural disasters
It’s very all natural, it’s all very natural
Psychological violence is the new punchline
Cancel America
