I don't think you're the alpha here
When all you do is follow their lead
But no-one asked me
When did the clowns and jesters
Become the utmost authority?
Well I guess it's free...
Don't get excited
Get them incited, yeah
You're always wanting more
Don't get excited
'Cause we're divided
More than ever before
We're at war
Rip those worthless balls out of your ballsack
'Cause I don't think you'll be needing them today
Tear out your cojones, they're not fit for purpose
And you weren't using them anyway
(You can fuck it up your own way)
Just keep on fucking up your own damn way
Stumble and get embarrassed
Then rage when others try to help out
Gotta get that clout
Fixate on confirmation bias
Then double-down if there's any doubt
That's what you're about
Don't get excited
You're often slighted, yeah
And rarely rational
Don't get excited
Just be delighted
Anyone listens at all
Ivermectin, bleach injectin'
Magnetisin', stats are risin'
Trot out those tired jokes that just don't land
Then disappear and work on your rebrand
And I've got time for anyone but you
Don't get excited 'til you follow through
Don't get excited
Try not to fight it, yeah
I'm trying to be polite
Don't get excited
You're just misguided
You really think that you're right
Ivermectin, bleach injectin'
5G towers, higher powers
Just fuck it up your own way
Fuck it up your own way
You're fucked either way

Burnout

I'm feeling normal again
I'm stealing a gentle breeze
And I might just call a friend
I might just do as I please
Where am I supposed to go?
I've made this rut quite the home
Where am I supposed to go?
Learn to say 'no'...
I'm tired but I'm wide awake
Inspired but I've got no flow
I'd give up for my own sake
But where would I even go
'Cause this is no solution
I gotta stop
I need my resolution
I'm closing shop
Burning out
Wish that I could shout
But I keep it bottled in
I slap on that fake grin
On my own
Better off alone
I can get this done
And show it off to no-one
Learned my place
No horse in the race
And I'm never gonna see
You manage without me
This drip-feed
Gives me what I need
And I'm making do
Without approval from you
You sold me a clump of shit
And told me that it was gold
I'll stand up and finally quit
Then realise I got old
Put that feeling away
Put a pin in it today
Put that feeling away
I'm afraid that I'm afraid to say I'm afraid

Revolución

You conflate terror
With being concerned
You don't wanna learn
It's bliss that you've earned
Believe in error
There's nothing wrong
It's taken this long
We're already gone
We'll throw our punches
Hoping they'll land
We're sinking in sand
A fist's still a hand
Forget our hunches
Trust what you see
Keep on mindlessly
Turn up the heat
We'll take the streets back
We're on the attack
We'll take the streets back
Revolución!
We'll take the streets back
We're on the attack
We'll take our lives back
And if you're threatened
By kids who ain't grown
Who go it alone
You might just be wrong
Your logic's deadened
Time poorly spent
Inconvenient
Ignoble intent
And in your quest to be a man
You'll do your worst the best you can
It's barely worth the sovereignty
These uplands ain't sunlit to me
Getting off on the othering
Never feeling that sorry
Only rooting for the home team
Defined by flag emojis
Scream at another heretic
It's not your own decision
Parroting tired rhetoric
Imitate an opinion
