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
