Ceschi - 2020 BC lyrics
[Ceschi - 2020 BC lyrics]
Anyone absolutely certain that
They understand everything
Hasn’t lived enough to know it’s
Impossible to come close
Seek the good in humanity, right?
Even if it’s a struggle most times
Is hate natural or were we trained
To fight like some pitbulls?
We’ve been locking jaws into each
Other’s backs well before Christ
Is that what it takes to survive?
Who taught us how to survive?
Fuck your neighbor to survive
Eat your neighbor to survive
We were hiding our faces
Long before pandemics arrived
Many have broken backs working
For some charismatic demigods
Who raised minimum wages to
Build company loyalty
Watched their employees die left and right
Bosses profit's grew off of lost lives
As they smiled for
Media commending philanthropy
We’ve been glorifying wealth and
Greed and sociopathy
It was packaged and sold to
Us as the American dream
Splintered working class people to
Weaken our communities
Fed us our sibling’s meat and convinced
Us that it was healthy
Then told us that we were born free
We were born free
To kill each other as we please
We were born free
We were born free to spread incurable disease
So much history manipulated by mythology
The crowds are growing larger
Frothing at the mouth gasping for air
Dogs barking in unison bursting throats open
Though no one hears
We are all entrapped by fear
Of satan and god and fascist billionaires
Of gangs, pedophiles and radicals with beards
It's hard to calm down all of them
Reactionary friends
Making funeral arrangements
50 years before their deaths
I know it’s true the world they knew
Has changed and it’s painful
To face what’s new
We have been grossly underfed
For domesticated pets
Craving love and attention
Satisfactions hardly met
I know it’s true the world we knew
Has changed and it’s strange
To face what’s new so each generation
Complains of the youth
Saying things were much better then
Please show more proof
Am i wasting my breath
Trying to Say Something?
When apathy’s held me in captivity
With the rest of the pets
Growling at nothing
As long as we’re fed and entertained
We’ll sleep
Our brains all crave dopamine
Pounded by information shared endlessly
Between ephemeral memes sexual fantasies
Conspiracy theories videos of bodies
That were killed by police
Trained to protect the power of ruling elites
No justice on these streets
Just more people screaming
Screaming screaming
Are we wasting our years
Putting faith in something
When we’ve always torn apart
All that we’ve loved?
From our hearts to our arms to movements
To families to each other
To the planet we all live on
This ain’t no song about peace
Those are easy to sing but hard to believe
It’s tough to trust human beings
But don’t blame us
For how we were trained to be
We were only BORN free
We were only born "free"
They understand everything
Hasn’t lived enough to know it’s
Impossible to come close
Seek the good in humanity, right?
Even if it’s a struggle most times
Is hate natural or were we trained
To fight like some pitbulls?
We’ve been locking jaws into each
Other’s backs well before Christ
Is that what it takes to survive?
Who taught us how to survive?
Fuck your neighbor to survive
Eat your neighbor to survive
