The Summer of Our Discontent |
| We all froze and did as told |
| Watched the world we knew burn slow |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| When we’ve been hiding ourselves whole |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| With anything that we’ve been sold |
| There’s a tropical storm pummelin' Connecticut as I write this |
| Depression got so bad that I thought I caught the COVID |
| In a way, we all did, only some of us died |
| Another coward shot a father in the back seven times |
| He wasn’t supposed to survive, they didn’t want a lawsuit |
| They’d rather do PR campaigns and give kids balloons |
| Thre’s a war goin' on in my heart as I write this |
| Amongst th fire and lightning, there’s violence in the most subtle of silences |
| Grew to understand that most days, I’m completely useless |
| Comin' to terms with the fact that most days, I don’t wanna rap |
| And I’m sick of the pain that truth brings |
| Does honesty improve a thing? |
| Realizin' we got trumped |
| Or is that masochistic foolishness? |
| Sometimes, I wanna burn buildings and rob a billion bucks |
| Sometimes, I wanna carve ACAB into my knucks |
| Then fist-fuck a pig until he vomits out all of his guts |
| Tell him, «I'm just doin' my job» |
| The public says, «That's way too much» |
| Truth is, I don’t believe that we could ever do enough to bring back lives |
| Labor and love that power and greed has stolen from us, it’s true |
| What’s smashin' another window gonna do? |
| Only wish we could smash glass cages we were born into |
| See beyond genders and races formulated for you |
| See beyond personas and scenes that are comically archetypical |
| Who am I to be talkin'? |
| I play the miserable one |
| Watchin' douchebags on YouTube tell me how to make a buck |
| Grow a six pack, intermittent fast when I barely give a fuck |
| That serotonin my brain lacks is a pain in the ass and I’m stuck in a bubble of |
| me |
| Six million ways to get free, but I’m lazy |
| Hope the revolution happens while I sleep |
| We all froze and did as told |
| Watched the world we knew burn slow |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| When we’ve been hiding ourselves whole |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| With anything that we’ve been sold |
| Yo, I am only a human, I’m just tryna live |
| In the midst of this chaos, I’m just tryna fit |
| Find my place in the rhythm, learnin' how I can give |
| Searchin' for opportunities, tryna stay positive |
| But I am only a person, honestly I am scared |
| Feel like the world is endin' and I just don’t feel prepared |
| And my depression is heavy like some of y’all unaware |
| The darkness is suffocatin', the burden’s too much to bear |
| Finally comin' to terms with the fact all the powers that be really don’t have |
| our back |
| And I’m searchin' for answers while being attacked by the right and the left |
| And I just wanna go home and nap, fuckin' relax |
| Get rid of apps and take a little bath |
| Get myself back to the middle of a path |
| Get some rehab so I don’t relapse |
| Tell me, why so much hate on Earth? |
| From the day we’re born, we experience violence until we rest in dirt |
| And all through our life is a pain and strife, so tell me what is all this for? |
| I don’t wanna die, but I’m sick of fightin' |
| And I kinda wish I could just go fly all up in the sky and get so fuckin' high |
| Open up my wings and soar |
| We all froze and did as told |
| Watched the world we knew burn slow |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| When we’ve been hiding ourselves whole |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| How is anybody satisfied? |
| With anything that we’ve been sold |
