Overlords
By Cosmic Cairns on August 22, 2024 9:37 pm
Sometimes it's hard not to feel angry about the world. The way the worst people seem to gather power. The way those people like to use lies and disinformation to keep us divided. The way so many of us seem to expend so much of our time and energy further enriching people who already have more money than anyone could possibly need in a lifetime just so we can get a few crumbs for ourselves. It's sickening and maddening, and I don't really know what to do about it, so I wrote this song.

They'll snuff you out one day at a time
Wear you down in increments and
Chip away at all that's sublime
In your heart and in your unique mind
This one's still got some small spark of life
Drain it, stifle it, slice it with a knife
They'll dictate what's wrong and what's right
Fill your head with ignorance and
Dampen out all glimmers of light
Turn you against your family and your friends
Yes, let's keep them at each other's throats
While we burn them all and crush their souls
Let's bust out of this cell
And we'll freeze over Hell
Might as well
