lyrics

It's our birthright
keep that in mind
they'll steal our future
but they'll never steal our spite

There's no fun in fixing
if the problems rhyme
There's no point in looking
past our time

Whether you're cause or effect
doesn't sober me up at all
it's been a pleasant attempt at community
but I think I'm gonna go throw up in the hall

And people too poor to eat
serve people too depressed to work
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't

outwitted, outrun
and very fine with that
Outsmarted, outdone
and not even mad

outwitted, outrun,
but free at last
no need to fight
no need to rest

Any damn hour in a room with you
better pays well
at what point did a pointless struggle
become a kindergarten show and tell

you seem to think that since you're alright
this world kind of is as well
I swear, your bright red flag
is slowly becoming pastel

people too sober to cope
clean up people too drugged to talk
and the ones that are somehow sane
fuck the ones that dream they weren't

I find it increasingly hard
to walk the thin line
between relatable
and edgy

and maybe it just is
maybe it just is sort of hard
none of this is really fair
and it has been like this from the start
but also it wasn't rigged
and I guess that's probably why
I shouldn't blame any of you
for idly standing by

but also, fuck that
and go fuck yourself at your leisure
if I can't feel happy
I won't feel self-aware either

go ahead, go ahead
name your daughter Africa

so when she gets
raped by white guys in school,
at least she's in character
