lyrics

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
