lyrics

Frustrated and aimless. Crushed under the weight of
A million "mistakes" swept under the rug.
We tried every way, to chart a different course and save some dignity. Let’s try another way. The city burns so bright on and on through fire-lit nights.

This world, it's not for you anymore.
We've subverted your social norms,
As I'm sure you'll learn.
Stop trying to be victimized,
Deluded by your views and blind to truths.
You brought this on yourselves.

We'll tear down your constructs. Bohemian havens,
Protecting your beliefs that you control our liberties.
No, don't try to dissuade. Producing other lies as baseless alibis.
We hear everything. Your racist rhetoric and your rapist shit.

This world, it's not for you anymore.
We’ve subverted your social norms,
As I'm sure you'll learn.
Stop trying to be victimized,
Deluded by your views and blind to truths.
You brought this on yourselves.

Our world, it's not for these hypocrites.
Two-faced, lying, misogynists.
Show them who they are,
Nothing but petty dinosaurs clinging to dying dreams.
Time to raze them down and build on fertile ground.

This world (No!), it's not for you anymore.
(You weasel scum, I hope you rot away in early graves)
We've subverted your social norms,
As I'm sure you'll learn.
Stop trying (Stop lying!) to be victimized,
(Destroy your legacies and forget your names)
Deluded by your views and blind to truths.
You brought this on yourselves.
