Existence Apology from Existence Apology by FS

Essentially a fast, energetic pop punk song with some nu metal & rap elements, kicking off the album with a bang!
Lyrically, the first verse deals with the way poor & working class people are treated in society, this idea of "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" and "You just need to work harder!", always bashing them, punching down, never giving them a break, always blaming everything on the individual, never acknowledging systemic issues, poverty, mental health, or any outside factors; the second verse is about the pandemic.

Lyrics

Sorry I'm not profitable
for your god economos
Sorry you have such an antiquated
idea of merit
effort and achievement and
a meaningful contribution
It is never enough for you
on the one hand

You claim that you're trying to help people
on the other hand you're implying that they're evil
and that their predicament is their own design
and of course it's all simply for a lack of trying
no words of encouragement, the pressure never fades
eroding every ounce of confidence that remains
How can't you see you are making it worse?
Solidifying people's fucking place in the world

You only concentrate on money
and not what a human being has to offer
Maybe you should listen more
Instead of punching down
telling people they're worthless

Chorus:
I'm so sorry for being born, I apologize
Sorry I am such a burden on your precious society

This pandemic ain't gonna end, ain't it?
we don't deserve anything much else, if it's
because of our greed and stupidity we
literally make a conscious choice of continuing

If we think the military
is more important than
getting the planet vaccinated
we lost our right to exist

Chorus
I have shown you what I'm capable of, it didn't fit your mold
such a waste of potential, it started out so good
