We have consulted with the greatest minds of our times,
The leaders of business and industry that have guided us,
And there is absolutely no reason to...
PANIC! There is no reason to :||
[VERSE]
PANIC!
Don't even THINK to panic.
Pandemics gone endemic.
It's over if you want it,
and WE WANT IT!
And you want it.
So you've got it,
and now you've got it,
and everyone you know has got it!
We can't stop it! What's the point?
The community is SPENT,
public spirit's hit it's limit, and
unemployed don't pay the rent.
So remove the mask, and breathe
the free air my friends.
We learned NOTHING from the past
and so the past restarts again.
[BREAK]
Get back to WORK!
And SPEND!
Spend our way back into surplus,
our only common purpose.
Mitigation was desperation,
mass psychosis in formation.
We must cut off all supports,
further militarise the force.
[KEY CHANGE]
There's generalised anxiety
at the peaks of society.
They've seen corporate profits soar
but it's not enough, they want MORE.
International solidarity,
will not devolve to charity.
Patents won't be waived
when there are BILLIONS being made.
[KEY CHANGE]
We're out-SPENT, out-RANKED,
out-GUNNED, out-FLANKED
by reactionaries beholden
to veneered days that were golden.
Those we cast adrift
float inevitably toward the rift.
Why do they persist
fighting foes that don't exist?
[DRUMS ONLY]
Crushing costs of surviving,
wages flatlining,
human rights in decline,
as global temperatures climb.
So define your own reality,
revealing your morality.
Late is the hour,
when compassion loses power...
[ALL IN]
So let it RIP, rip it up!
We've given in, now give it up!
And line them UP against the walls
in corridors of hospitals.
It's the thinning of the heard,
just desserts well deserved.
Cases surge and top the charts,
the leading cause of broken hearts.
When fiscal need enough is dire,
throw the proles upon the pyre.
The eugenics are systemic,
invariably prophetic.
Because the "healthy" will survive,
the wealthy will THRIVE,
but conditions pre-existing
will not be revived.
[BREAK]
We failed the sick, we failed the poor,
we've lost the battle, we've lost the war.
What was it all for?
Who was it all FOR?
There's no returning to before!
It's impossible to reverse
when everything and everyone
is SO MUCH WORSE!
We're on the cusp of a depression,
A great age of regression.
They said we had it all,
hubris precipitates the fall.
The second hand creeps closer,
unobstructed,
to the right, and
THE FASCISTS
ARE MARCHING
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
