Sometimes you just open another tub of Ben and Jerry's and dwell in the existential dread - by Fall Out Boy
I feel like i’ve been living in a system 
that pitches kids into a pit 
and wishes pain upon the little ones
I feel like the only one left sane
 in a world that’s gone deranged 
for money fortune and fame
But what I feel is not the issue, its a symptom of a problem 
that we really need to solve 
and that’s what I am trying to explain across the room to all of you 
there might be something we can do before the world turns blue
From all the water cause we’re melting down the poles 
with the oil we keep bringing from below 
and burning sending into the air like we just don't care 
but we need to cause if we don’t stop soon then we’re going to end up
Livin down in those holes that we’ve created 
hiding from the problem that we instigated and activated
stimulated
actions that we're taking.
Ships we’re making,
 Trees we’re chopping 
and the garbage we keep dropping in the sea, 
This is bigger than you and me
I said you can get addicted to a lot of things 
like power hungry politicians doing lines of corporate tax breaks
while they’re burning benjy’s lighting fucking cigarettes
rolled from the lies that make their party platform sound great
But really it’s quite easy getting people freaked and weepy over things that don’t exist
Keeping people guessing intense about their parties interests, while they’re struggling to make rent
Cause getting paid ain’t painless when you’re paid less then we made back in seventy six
I’m getting tired of kissing ass and sucking bosses’ dicks
I’m getting tired of the grindin’ and the hiding and surviving that taking over people’s lives
As the wealthy keep on thriving
While they throw their fancy parties all up on their private yachts
Another shelter keeps putting out cots for those who can’t afford their own homes
And we don’t have to live this way
All work and no play is making us quite dumb
Chop the workday in half to get more done
And avoid the working masses getting comfortably numb
We need to cut down these elites by putting people into power who stand for things that matter
Like closing wealth disparity tween the rich and the poor
And maybe get some clarity on what our military’s for
And maybe start with outlawing corporate lobbyists influencing our politics and stopping our democracy
Cause what’s right for the bottom line ain’t right for you and me
We can see the difference between two and three see
So when you start merging companies down to numbers dora can reach
It can seem easy
To start to be sleazy
Try hard? no one’s trying no more
Making money’s all that money’s good for
But you see its basic economics
To fix this its simple we just
Give more to the people on top
And let the rest feast from the trickle
Oh what it’s still dry down there?
Well the water we put it had to go somewhere
Oh look Jeff Bezos just filled up his pool on his private yacht
Because we’re lying to ourselves when we’re saying that it’s fair
And we’re saying it don’t matter but we really need to care
Now i think of all the time we’ve been screwed over by the man
I feel like my living quarter’s in the bottom of his can
He keeps pissing on us saying that its rain
And we keep falling for it over again
We really need to rise together as a people getting somethig done
Because the war is almost over but the battle’s just begun
Fight the power to make it stop
Dethrone the ones that sat on top
We can't overpower them but we just might
Make the it impossible to justify the cost of the fight 
Sing the song that angry Frenchmen sing behind their barricades 
Use our strength in numbers like we’re blasted by some gamma rays
Tear them down and feed the rotting corpses to the mangy strays
Don't give up
Don't give in
This shit ain't close to being over it is just beginning
So tie the string and lay the wire
Light the fuse and start the fire
The south is rising up again it's time for us to quench it
Were through with oppression moving on to some fresh shit
Done with differentiating everyone  by skin tones
Acting reflexively like mallets to our shin bones
Chasing and displacing discrimination and racism
Hating all the places that we started at and came from
Cause history's important cause it's all so fucking dark
And if repeatings what we're good at the the future's looking stark
Cause we're standing on the shoulders of peasants and slaves
Struggling to live serving all the Lord's and maids
Duke bezos, lordship buffet, sir and lady gates,,
It's like we've set society back into the middle ages
Turn the page on immigration
Fuck the concept of  a ‘nation’
We're all just fucking people and we all have fucking needs
And if we killed the 1% then those needs would be exceeded
We can shelter vaccinate clothe and fucking feed
Every goddamn person if we all just agreed
That poverty stricken people need
 more attention than the motherfucking economy
