In an Alternate Timeline Lyrics

In an alternate timeline when the Coronavirus has not had an outbreak

The situation isn't any less confusing

Everyone is risking their lives for a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper

(Alright, it's GCSE time!) and you lot seem to think that's a good thing to do

We have arrived in this fucked up world

It's August, and now we're gonna see who lives and who dies (Why?)

This has been how it's worked for hundreds of years (That's too long)

Long enough for this strategy to be adopted around the world

(Did people not think about that? That's a ridiculous fucking idea!)

This is a crucial time that'll decide loads of futures

Nobody knows why, but we've all accepted it as the way it should be

(You are all dickheads!)

What I'd like to know is WHO THOUGHT

THIS WAS A GOOD WAY OF DOING ANYTHING?

You'd think by now we'd have moved onto a better strategy

In an alternate timeline

Nobody is any less screwed over the head

Than we all are here

(COVID is not a bigger problem than random numbers killing people)

The only difference is that the reason's ever so slightly different

I hate to say it, but COVID-19 is not what's making your life hard

Nobody cares if you can't go to cut your hair

(That explosion in Beirut did more damage! Come on!)

We're lucky we're not being shot for no fucking reason

Your priorities are completely screwed beyond repair

So it's time the way the world works get completely overhauled

"Uuuu, life's so fookin hard!" Bullshit!

You've been overprotected since the day you were born!!

Try being shot in the fucking head because of the wrong frequency of light!

(Stop shooting people, for fuck's sake!)

You need to get it into your shit brain

That there's more important things to worry about! (Like your job!)

Why are you crying about wearing masks?

If it bothers you so much take the damn thing off! (Oh, but I'll die if I do!)

I'm starting to think there's bullshit afoot

Leave everyone alone and stop fucking crying

About things that amount to literally nothing (Like your looks)

I shouldn't have to care about some numbers on a sheet of paper (Results?)

But it just so happens that if they're too low

THEY'LL BE GETTING AWAY WITH GENOCIDE ALL OVER AGAIN!

In an alternate timeline this is all just another day

In an alternate timeline we'll never be able to get away

In an alternate timeline I won't let control freaks be alive

In an alternate timeline COVID's not the excuse for GENOCIDE

What's your excuse for all this?

Is it some random bat in the East? (Someone ate a diseased bat in China)

Who gave you the right to use some bullshit to start killing everyone?

(COVID exists—Imma have to kill you now)

There's no fucking reason that some numbers on a sheet of paper

(The random number generator of death decides who lives)

Should be the single cause of thousands of deaths every single day...

I'm speaking from an instant ago (Multiverse theory's a bitch)

Everything is very different

There's no COVID anywhere but everyone's still dying

(They're being killed for no reason!)

The numbers say you should be dead

And they don't have a fucking good reason for that

You're probably glad you got a free pass (From the RNG)

But they will screw you over later

"Stop. Think about it"

What do you think is going on out there? (Lots of stuff)

If you think it's absolutely nothing

Then let it be known there's still tyrants there

Everyone's killing for no fucking reason

Because they're more concerned about their appearance (Why do you fucking CARE?)

You've got your future ahead of you

Stop wasting all the other ones

If you ignore all of this I WILL PERSONALLY END YOU MYSELF!

In the end our lives should all depend

On just how well we all manage to live them out

And anyone who interferes won't survive

In an alternate timeline not much is different

The arbitrary unrelated reasons are slightly changed

Qualifications make me sick

Why're they why most people die?

If this continues

Someone will use that to wipe us out
