Virtuous Industry from Tough Baby by Crack Cloud

My blood it boils into the rhythm - this urgency to revolutionize
Curve the ball for the batter batter batter batter swing only when it feels right

They twist and churn your story for the likeness of their image (they take)
They scratch and prod your mind until your brain feels pillaged (they make)
They’ll box you up inside, and hang you out to dry, they’ll rinse you and repeat you every rising tide
They told us what we’re worth and to sign on the line and to not forget the waiver or we’d be chastised
They’ve made a map of all our teenage transgressions - memoirs made out of scars
They told us we can market you just turn up the aggression - directions made of pretensions
In the entertainment business we are entertained by you - and your longevity is based on what we can accrue
Off you

Big bang loud hook
Don’t you love our virtuous industry
Live in perpetual idealism
Just listen to the wokeness of the rhythm
Shimmy to the left now we shimmy to the right
Are we right in the context of our lives
Yeah the fuzz come and go
All the pitchforks and the trolls
It’s a circus that’s made on money
