[Crywank - Commodified Dissent as an Act of Resistance Or the Many Disappointments of The Fictional Band of Hypocrites Known as Ultra Bono lyrics]

Deep down my true desire
Is to make myself an icon
By preaching to the choir
Activism purely in double-speak
Anti-capitalism as a marketing technique
Who cares about praxis
When you've got the access
To a crowd who all agree and still buy CD's
And want to hear songs where
You shout all their beliefs
Soon I'll be at Glastonbury and on the BBC

Do you hear that thunder?
It's the sound of me speaking over another
It's the sound of pats 'til my back's red raw
As I conquer enemies made of straw
We sing about inclusivity
And toxic masculinity
Whilst me and my boys get
Down to our underpants
And push each other to dance


We'll be a socialist band who
Tweet thank yous to Amazon
Call ourselves feminists on stages
With no women on
And when we're pressured to bring them along
You'd better bet there'll be a huge wage gap

I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth

Center myself in movements when
They seem usable
I'll write songs where we all
Scream "black is beautiful"
'Cause as a white man, I feel it's my duty
I figure they’re all waiting for
Me to reaffirm their beauty
Our press-releases like to say
"it's a revolution"
Whilst we revel in being part
Of the music institution
Sure some time they say
We're virtue signaling
I don't give a fuck, my wallet's thickening

I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth, don't touch me
I'll shut my mouth
