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 01:15
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 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
