The World We Know

The amnesia of history conceals the view
Complaints only lodged when it's right for you
Statements by martyrs so common place
Nothing like a keyboard and a head full of angst
Standing by while this world burns
It seems to me that no ones learnt
I should be good, do what I'm told
Yet every word's still bought and sold
It don't mean a thing to me
When everyone's got to find their niche
Yours was money, yours was lies
Everyone's got to thrive
Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Corporations bribe their way to the throne
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Thrown into a pious privilege
Guarded by some inviolable form
So haughtily holistic that altruism
Is just so easy to spawn
Standing by while this world burns
It seems to me that no ones learnt
I should be good, do what I'm told
Yet every words still bought and sold
It don't mean a thing to me
When everyone's got to find their niche
Mine was purpose, mine was drive
Everyone's got to thrive
Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Corporations bribe their way to the throne
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Freedom for the free, with the price of privacy
Surrender your belongings, surrender your purpose
Have you ever found it strange
When people feel the need to complain
About money, cars, sports and drugs
I've just had enough
Women fighting to keep their rights in Roe
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Leaders lie and sweeten you for a vote
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Out of touch our eyes don't leave our phones
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
Corporations bribe their way to the throne
This is the world we sow
This is the world we know
