Recreational Outrage Lyrics

Suburban trust fund kids and pseudo activists

Thinking they’re on par with Dr.King or Malcom X

From behind computer screens they’re boasting bravery

Spouting deeply held beliefs on things that almost everyone agrees

Nothing really matters

No one really cares

Pre approved opinions

Are all I seem to hear

So signal all your virtues until your blue in the fucking face

And flaunt your ally badges like you’re trying to win a race

If your nose is in the air is your heart in the right place

You've become a mirror image of what you claim to hate

No one stands for nothing as far as I can see

You lose the will to listen when all you do is preach

If no one stands for nothing they’ll fall for anything

Welcome to the era of recreational outrage

To treat oppression of another as opportunity

To take the stage and showcase your moral supremacy

Then you’re no fucking better than what you claim to fight against

Compassionately calling out the point you seemed to miss

You don’t care about the struggle

You don't care about the streets

You just want the label

Cause you think that it sounds neat

Now don’t get me wrong I will always take the side

Of the downtrodden fighting for a better life

I won’t exploit your struggle or cash in on your pain

That type of savior complex will never be for me

No one stands for nothing as far as I can see

You lose the will to listen when all you do is preach

If no one stands for nothing by they’ll fall for anything

Welcome to the era of recreational outrage
