Social Animals |
| If you only listen with half an ear, you only have a quarter of the right to |
| criticise |
| So sit down, shut up and listen |
| It’s been a hell of a ride through the past few years |
| I’ve fought, conquered and gained new fears |
| I’ve been built up, broken and rebuilt again |
| We’re all in this together, in the lions den |
| It seems the worlds run by crazy people |
| With no one to stand up for the weak and feeble |
| The racists from the history books are out in the streets |
| Spouting hate disguised as free speech |
| Think this is peace? |
| Get informed |
| We’re more divided than ever before |
| It’s a wild, wild world, we don’t trust one another |
| We’re social animals but we’re eating each other |
| So much time spent on our phones |
| Hundreds of «friends,» but we feel so alone |
| We give the stage to those with no love in their hearts |
| Then we act surprised when the fires start |
| At each other’s throats, coming to a head |
| My newsfeed says we’ll all soon be dead |
| Threats of war being thrown around |
| But I’ll believe it when the lights go down |
| This isn’t peace, get informed |
| This is a different kind of war |
| Does it feel familiar, have you seen it before? |
| Have we travelled back to 1964? |
| Hurtling towards this inevitable end |
| It’s now more than ever that we need friends |
| The good times will come, we’ll lift the curse |
| But before this gets better, it’s gonna get worse |
| We live in a culture that’s growing more and more narcissistic everyday. |
| We judge our value based on how many likes a photo gets on our Instagram |
| account and compare ourselves to celebrities whose heights we could never hope |
| to reach |
| And while we strive for some semblance of fulfilment in this digital wasteland, |
| we ignore the real problems. |
| Outside in the streets people call for the |
| slaughter of those who they disagree with, calling for blood and oil, |
| threatening to send us back in time to an age where we didn’t know any better |
| Those people are living in a world that has long since past, and they can do |
| two things. |
| They can either adapt to the new world, or they can be destroyed |
| Violence, war, prejudice in the streets |
| Will nothing change till someone bleeds? |
| Strip back our disguise, we’re all the same |
| Social animals, igniting a flame |
| Where do you stand? |
| Who do you believe? |
| Do you stay at home watching it on TV? |
| Will you defend your flag under attack? |
| Or will you stand and salute the red, white and black? |
| And from the ashes let it rise |
| Something new before our eyes |
| Let it rise, let it rise |
| We’ve gone too far, let the past die |
