lyrics

A seven-second delay for your three-second attention span
It’s not what it means, it’s how you're meant to understand
Sold out for nothing because the product is free
All bought off by gadgets and books you don’t have to read
You think the man who’s worth eight figures knows how you feel
Hands ground to the bone cling gratefully to the raw end of the deal
The symbol-minded swallow each meme of the day
Told to be thankful for what’s been taken away

Yet still believing the promises made and already broken outside of the warrantee

Prescriptions take the edge off this American Dream
But we’re all to some extreme
Bound by the established belief
That the ends justify the deceit

Participatory neglect, this pill will fix everything
No need to repeat the questions that no one’s answering
Nine to five, five to ten, accepting the guilty plea
Because facts are opinions and reality is what you watch on TV

The aggregated, medicated, uninformed, opinionated
The isolation generation inheriting a broken nation
The healthy wealthy one percent, the myopic establishment
Anachronistic, jingoistic, selfish, helpless, fat, complacent

The polish slowly wearing off this American Dream
And we’re caught somewhere between
The visions and the life we’ve achieved
The masses still line up behind those with whom they agree
Embrace the four-year policy:
Changing three hundred sixty degrees

Bigger guns and longer wars and fewer rights and lower bars and cheaper work and longer hours more criminals taking what’s ours and deeper debt the more that’s spent and more blank checks for fatter heads and flashing lights and warning signs and opioids and suicides less ownership more corporate ties bankrolling domestic spies perspective’s lost as time goes by and rags to rags to rags to rags to rags
