Anyone absolutely certain that they understand everything Hasn't lived enough to know it's impossible to come close Seek the good in humanity, right? Even if it's a struggle most times Is hate natural or were we trained to fight like some pitbulls? We've been locking jaws into each other's backs well before Christ Is that what it takes to survive? Who taught us how to survive? Fuck your neighbor to survive Eat your neighbor to survive We were hiding our faces long before pandemics arrived Many have broken backs working for some charismatic demigods Who raised minimum wages to build company loyalty Watched their employees die left and right Bosses profits grew off of lost lives As they smiled for media commending philanthropy We've been glorifying wealth and greed and sociopathy It was packaged and sold to us as the American dream Splintered working class people to weaken our communities Fed us our sibling's meat and convinced us that it was healthy Then told us that we were born free We were born free To kill each other as we please We were born free We were born free to spread incurable disease So much history manipulated by mythology The crowds are growing larger Frothing at the mouth Gasping for air Dogs barking in unison Bursting throats open Though no one hears We are all Entrapped by fear Of satan and god and fascist billionaires Of gangs, pedophiles and radicals with beards It's hard to calm down all of them Reactionary friends Making funeral arrangements 50 years before their deaths I know it's true The world they knew Has changed And it's strange To face what's new We have been grossly underfed for domesticated pets Craving love and attention Satisfaction's hardly met I know it's true The world we knew Has changed And it's painful To face what's new So each generation Complains of the youth Saying things were much better then Please Show more proof Am I wasting my breath Trying to Say Something? When apathy's held me in Captivity With the rest of the pets Growling at nothing As long as we're fed and entertained We'll sleep Our brains all crave dopamine Pounded by information shared endlessly Between ephemeral memes Sexual fantasies Conspiracy theories Videos of bodies That were killed by police Trained to protect the power of ruling elites No justice on these streets Just more people screaming Screaming screaming Are we wasting our years Putting faith in something When we've always torn apart all that we've loved? From our hearts to our arms To movements To families To each other To the planet we all live on This ain't no song about peace Those are easy to sing But hard to believe It's tough to trust human beings But don't blame us For how we were trained to be We were only BORN free We were only born "free"
