Lyrics
T = 146 BPM
VERSE 1/
While you were cancelling, they were recruiting
While you were death scrolling, they were strategizing
They won before you put your phone down to fight
While you were outraged over Disney, they were making things right
Brilliance dies alone, while mediocrity multiplies
If it’s “wrong” it’s good for business, trading conformational bias
We got to save the rich kids from the uprising of the poor
People are getting more stupid, but you get what you fight for
CHORUS/
Don’t follow the money
Follow the fear
If you wanna find out honey
What got us here
VERSE 2/
Them fake tanned vampires, had their sense of humor castrated
The emperors new industrial makes us feel so connected
We’re pissing in the well, then drinking it recycled
This path of ruin is ours and we are wired to spiral
The nation of lone actors making hate for the machinery
We called it “freedom” once, now it’s “false sense of national security”
Getting offended by proxy makes you even more annoying
Want fame and money? Here’s a dollar, now fuck off darling
CHORUS/
Don’t follow the money
Follow the fear
If you wanna find out honey
What got us here
You’re such a head fucker
You’re such a head fucker
MIDDLE 8/
They weren’t voting out the queer books to make way for Mein Kampf
They were voting in school board members filled with contempt
Planting seeding in children to grow intolerance
Paint the bullshit red and call it fruit of knowledge
VERSE 3/
I wanted to believe, that when the fascists come
We’d be together in a trenches, fighting them off as one
But now I know we’ll destroy each other first
Over dumb bullshit before they even take a shot
Perhaps you need an exorcism, not more therapy
Amuse the fools, muzzle the wise, memes for the lazy
You think there’s a solution, you’re part of the problem
Today is the worst day of your life…again
CHORUS/
Don’t follow the money
Follow the fear
If you wanna find out honey
What got us here
Don’t follow the money
Follow the fear
If you wanna find out honey
What got us here
You’re such a head fucker
You’re such a head fucker
You’re such a head fucker
Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve thee
You’re such a head fucker
Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve thee
