Economic Roadkill

Ground into dirt
A gift passed down
Through generations
Human waste from Europe
Sent to a 'new world'
Your founding fathers
Believed you were scum
Wrote the laws
To hold you down
Can't afford to wait for a good deal
Can't afford the fine or legal cost
Can't afford to study
Can't afford to hold out for another dollar a day
While we fight for air
The 1% feed on the froth
Accumulation of privileges
Rolling over poverty
Riding waves of self destructive behaviour
Waves of desperation in a global under class

Negative Dialectic
02:44

We devolve
We stare at ourselves
And see nothing
No meaning
No transcendence
Relative merit
Relative suffering
A meritocracy
To the privileged class
Democracy
Becomes oligarchy
Revolutionary
Become tyrant
The course is clear
We devolve society

Mandatory Minimums
02:14

You exist but can't transcend
Like a cage outside time
Who misses you?
Who have you missed?
Everyone fucks up but you got caught
Third strike you're out
Taken out of life
Out of all you love
For stealing a chocolate bar
You now exist in jail

Groupthink

Milieu tells me who I am and what I want
Vacant eyes and polite lies get me everywhere
I'm not a threat the signs would say
But I have no conscience, no internal monologue
"The group is right
The stakes are low"
Thus spake the clone
A rapist and a leech
But his friends say it's cool
So he never questions it
Comfortable inside the box it's like the womb
Comfortable exploiting people it's like a game
I don't need to think for myself
There's a ready made self image in what I consume
What I consume.

When they hit us we turn the cheek
"That's just how life is"
They buy the adds
They buy the news
Just to feed you impressions
That you'll never think through
They have bought you
But you don't care enough to realise
News tells us exceptions
Millions of people without a future
But one stole a car
Billions of muslims
But one set off a bomb
No one cares for the bigger picture
They have bought you
But you don't care

Grenfell Tower
02:57
|
|||
|
Burning
No option
How many
Locked inside
Government gave you a place to live
You should be thankful for the handout I'm told
Thank the underfunding
That cremated you alive
Grenfell Tower
Decades of lies to shirk your responsibility
All we see is money, not people's lives
How do we treat those in need?
How do corporate rich excuse their greed?
What social contract?
