lyrics

Unpopular opinion:
I don't want normal
I don't want the poor to be
Dying on the streets, that's
Normal
So normal
So normal
I don't want to view vast
Chasms of wealth divide between
The rich and the rest
That's normal
So normal
Too normal

But if that's the kind of world you want
Take a sip and say goodbye
Take the ashes of the world we know
And soak them in the tears I cry
If that's the kind of world you want
Take a sip and say goodbye

I don't want to live in a
Fascist police state
Where bodies are destroyed
By their race, and their color
That's normal
Too normal
Too normal
I don't want live in a place where morons
Couch their stupid lies in flags and religion
That's normal
That's normal
That's normal
But I want to live in a world with you
We've got the brains to break our chains and start anew
That's normal
That's normal
So normal
I just want to live in a
World where human life
Getting all the dignity and grace it deserves
Is normal
So normal
So normal

Some call me a dreamer
Some, a terrorist
Some, the enemy
I would tear down all of this
Billionaires are swine
Their fruits are their corruption
Greed is just lust
And profits are seduction
Posting advertisements
In a hospital or chapel
Being told "It's okay!"
By motherfucking Apple, yeah
We're all in a jam
Yet the companies abuse it
And "in these trying times"
I'm gonna fucking lose it
Every single day
We slip a little further
The economy demands
A tidy bit of murder
An Idiot-in-Chief, cries,
"We must not spare the dying"
And folks with half a brain,
They just can't believe he's lying!
But I won't be tempered
I simply won't be silenced
When love is so ignored
Watch the masses turn to violence
In this bitter forge
Let the planet cease its turning
And if it will not cease?
Then watch it start burning
