bologna Lyrics

So here we are again

Claiming to be schooling the kids

As far as I can tell it's a trend of shooting the kids

No wonder if they get older they end up depressed

And full of trauma that's gone unaddressed

We use this attitude when it comes to the youth

Seen as a pawn from the first sign in the womb

Force-fed ads in the delivery room

Collecting everybody else's thoughts thinking it's truth

If they really thought that every life mattered

They'd catch the wobbly vase before it could shatter

Instead they save your life by giving you the short ladder

Now try to get ahead before the cops make your blood splatter

Can't rush to pass racial reparations

Gotta make sure TikTok ain't spying on the nation

What do you expect when you elect racist,

Ignorant bigots jetting off to vacation

Funny how we gotta cling to cash to survive

But the miracle of life keeps capitol alive

Social economic oppression in real time

Draining all the workers of their sacred peace of mind

In a fast-paced world the cruelty seems right

But the biggest rebellion is just by being kind

And rising above the hatred you're faced with

He said, she said, man it's all so wasted

And you realize that the anger never wins

You finally see that change starts from within

But when you focus on your mental health

They point the finger in your face

And say you're too selfish, I'd say it's kitsch

But then I'd be missing the point of all this

If the religion can't love me

I'll choose not to hate it

I wanna see some change

I wanna see some action

Wanna see a day

Full of thought and not reactions

Want the kids to grow old

Maybe they'll help save us

What the hell do we know

Been gluttonous for ages

Killing all the creatures

Just so we can eat them

Tearing up the pastures

Just so we can feed them

Disregard your elders

Focus on your money

Convinced we can't do better

But that's just straight bologna

I wonder what my first piece of trash looks like now

Twenty-five years after I tossed it out

The second you take your very first breath

You get a plastic tag, it'll be here past your death

That's your purpose in a consumer based life

Acquire and collect as much as you can buy

It starts from the minute that we open our eyes

A world of flashy signs designed to keep us blind

All the kids are being hypnotized

And all the kids are being desensitized

From bombardment of our social demise

With nonstop lies being televised

The government don't give a shit, that's pretty apparent

Waging war and genocide, claiming it's inherent

They're too old for modern coherence

And too fuckin' wealthy for any common sense

They always get a bailout when they drop the ball

And then throw us the scraps and yell, "Free for all"

It's how they keep us distracted and preoccupied

From ever rising up and trying to turn the tide

Pumping millions into getting products advertised

Feed the kids sugar and they're hooked for life

Now buy yourself some candy for some casual snacking

And be sure to savor the chemical flavors they're packing

Deep breath of air, say a prayer, remove the wrapping

Instantly crave another bite, are you happy

Do you enjoy this poison that makes you fell crappy

Alters your mood and makes you real crabby

Aren't you outraged, isn't it fuckin' maddening

This ain't fictitious my friend, it's really happening

Modern day brainwash and poison all around

Time to turn off the screens and eat food from the ground

I wanna see some change

I wanna see some action

Wanna see a day

Full of thought and not reactions

Want the kids to grow old

Maybe they'll help save us

What the hell do we know

Been gluttonous for ages

Killing all the creatures

Just so we can eat them

Tearing up the pastures

Just so we can feed them

Disregard your elders

Focus on your money

Convinced we can't do better

But that's just straight bologna
