I was just seventeen
In a world getting mean
So my mind took a decade long walk
Since it's returned
I've grown more than concerned
And I think that it's time for a talk
Love the lord, trash the planet (yeah, we already know)
Adopt a poor, foreign child (can't you just let it go)
Spread like dust in the breeze (population control)
I'm not saying we're all guilty
But we sure as hell know
I'm all fire and brimstone when I write
But I won't leave this seat to join the fight
So put the nail in the coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead
And when they rail against our actions, or lack thereof
I'm sure we'll find
Shame at last inside
We didn't even need to read between the lines
I'm running on outdated hardware while shopping for phones
In an overcrowded everywhere (alone) together we fold
Wielding absolute knowledge in the palm of my hand
I peruse tits and ass, how was this your God's plan?
I'd say we need to get outside
But there's no point for half the country
It's all cops, and crops, and parking lots
Woods turned into housing plots
So the green spaces fleet
While the food deserts creep
Outward from the parts of town
Where wealthy hide the black and brown
I'm all fire and brimstone when I write,
But I won't leave this seat to join the fight
So put the nail in the coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead
Nothing we say's gonna make a difference
Nothing I do's gonna make a difference
Nothing we say's gonna make a difference
Nothing you do's gonna make a difference
I was just seventeen in a world getting mean
So my mind took a decade long walk
Since it's returned, I've grown more than concerned
And I think that it's time for a talk
So put the nail in the coffin, I'll be resting my head
An average male in America, I'd contribute more dead
And when they rail against our actions, or lack thereof
I'm sure we'll find
Shame at last inside
We didn't even need to read between the lines
