lyrics

Well the powers that be are holding me down
Your cool frames can’t help you see underground
I’m just a dog who’s unchained from the pound
Who’s barkin’ his bark for the sake of the sound

Top 40 charts are no friend to the hip
But they’ll make up their own at the crack of a whip
An infinite playlist that’s filled up with shit
Fuel for the fires whose faucets don’t drip

What can I say about this day in age?
You gaze at your shoes but you’ve lost all the rage
A new generation with a new kinda cage
That connects to the world with the click of a page

More provocative than old Tricky Dick’s Watergate
It’s 1984, 30 years too late
We keep buying in to the new police state
We’re either apathetic or we can’t see straight

Your telescreen is pretty, it’s mobile on the go
To keep in tough with people that you barely even know
An ADD society, so quick to diagnose
With Instagram pics up against a firehose

Nuclear era’s no longer the concern
It’ll always be a threat but there’s new ways to burn
The boomers are leavin’ so I guess it’s our turn
But instantaneity overpowers the will to learn
