Lyrics
This is not my scene
Know I just got here but I need to leave
You won't understand
But I can't be seen
Just get perceived as another parasite by society
I just wanna go home
Got nowhere to go
All the money goes towards bombs and drones
Funding a genocide
We've got enough problems going on at home
(Yikes)
Isn't this how you wanted it?
Your perfect world
Utopia
Got your white house
Your picket fence
The wife and kids
Gated Neighborhood
600,000 people looking for a place to sleep
they can't get jobs and they can't eat
Need to get these people off of the streets
But you just hand out fines
Making them serve time
They don't have a dime
They're barely getting by
How're we gonna solve anything
if their condition's painted as a crime?
(Yikes)
Corporations inflating the cost of living
In cahoots with the feds
Don't let it get to your heads
They pay 21%, bet that's less than your rent
So tell me why am I going broke
just trying to buy a loaf of bread?
(Yikes)
Isn't this how you wanted it?
Your perfect world
Utopia
Got your white house
Your picket fence
The wife and kids
Gated Neighborhood
And the key to success
if I had to guess
has nothing to do with being the best
Just tell them what they want to hear
Then put the blame on whoever comes next
Can't trust the man in charge
Never gonna let you get too far
You know too much
and won't shut up
Know where the people are coming from
(Yikes)
500 kids have been victims
of gun violence at school
since 1999
What a time to be alive
They can't even get free lunches
At least the weapons are abundant
Gotta fix the propaganda
Trick more kids into enlisting
(Yikes)
Isn't this how you wanted it?
Your perfect world
Utopia
Got your white house
Your picket fence
The wife and kids
Gated Neighborhood
What about my right to choose?
Was it just a game of snooze or lose?
It'll start with the death of Roe v Wade
Then the meaning of Freedom will turn more Grey
Remember the last time we had a fight about state's rights?
Seems that history repeats
And no one sees or will concede
Give applause to our congress
for inviting a war criminal
to seek investors for his Holy War
Don't you know?
Your livelihood's a joke
That's what we get
for letting oligarch's control
When I was a kid
I lost all of my friends to monopoly
Now I'm losing everything
I could never keep up with corporate greed
Everything is made overseas
Probably by slavery
Just to save a quick buck
You selfish fucks, guess what?
Gonna eat the rich, and you're lunch
