Good Riddance - Defusing The Popular Struggle lyrics

Once lost we will never find our way Shutting down we're devoid of things to say Prospects are growing worse with every hour With no voice it seems we've got no power Overcome by headlines We believe what isn't true You've got no empathy for anyone but you Our moral contradictions And subjective, hollow tomes Perpetuate the fear asphyxiating us at home so Seems like there's no place left to hide From the cold, amorphous dread That we all feel inside Actions might dictate who survives The hopelessness which punctuates Our empty lives Could there be something I need a reason Could there be anything at all Systems of technology which once kept us Informed Now endeavor to perpetuate the norm Privatization of concentrated wealth While millions still suffer In dilapidated health so Who cares to calculate What indigence will cost How will we replicated urbanity that's lost The curtain falls on the ultimate disgrace We hunger for equality Though we've never had a taste The irony will make you laugh Intervene on our behalf To undo this mask of false complicity The despotic, right-wing government Has manufactured our consent Can we entrust ourselves To transform their doctrine to dissent
