LYRICS

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”
