Tom MacDonald - Walk Alone lyrics

To get where no one goes
You need to walk alone
The only shit you know is lies
That you've been told
All of the news, all of the rules
Everything cool is made up
They want us to lose, we're hitting
Snooze, we need to choose, to wake up

Man, they tricked us into thinking that the
Boys are strong and girls are weak
Muscles and makeup is all a
Man or a woman needs
They use celebrities to sell us
Clothes we can't afford
To make us feel okay about going
Broke 'fore we leave the store
Driving home in that luxury SUV
That you don't have no friends to fill
So you got all these extra seats
You define your worth by your
Neighbourhood and your streets
So you're living in the basement half
A mile from the beach
The government been talking 'bout
Microchipping our minds, whoa
And we refuse
Then blow a thousand on an iPhone
Most effective way to chip a
Person is to hide it
And rebrand it so it's cool
Call it mobile devices
Taking pills that they talk about
In the rap songs
Doctors said they'd make you happy, huh
Didn't last long
Too depressed to leave your bed
Got fired from your last job
Soon you won't afford the rent and
Need a couch to crash on

To get where no one goes
You need to walk alone
The only shit you know is
Lies that you've been told
All of the news, all of the rules
Everything cool is made up
They want us to lose, we're hitting
Snooze, we need to choose, to wake up

You finally got the newest Gucci belt
You ain't happy though
Still been super jealous of the
Couples in the sappy songs
They advertise that money's your saviour
And if you bought into that narrative
You're bound to be failures
We've been tricked into valuing
Money over our lives
Diamonds rings worth a million while
Our water's worth a dime
And a diamond has no purpose but
Looking good when it shines
While our water gets polluted and
We need it to survive
Pop culture got you losing your truth, man
Makes whores out of women and
Turns the dudes into douchebags
Confusing your mood with needing some
Pills and a new bag
Illusion of choice making us
Choose to be stupid
We let the music and movies and magazines
Define being successful
We don't know what it means
Got us working overtime to pay
For bills we don't need
The system has been paying us
To forget our dreams, yeah

It's lies on the TV, it's lies in the paper
It's Devil's parading as if
They were saviours
Fuck the whole system, that shit isn't real
Bust in the windows and go for the kill

To get where no one goes
You need to walk alone
The only shit you know is
Lies that you've been told
All of the news, all of the rules
Everything cool is made up
They want us to lose, we're hitting
Snooze, we need to choose, to wake up
To get where no one goes
You need to walk alone
The only shit you know is
Lies that you've been told
All of the news, all of the rules
Everything cool is made up
They want us to lose, we're hitting
Snooze, we need to choose, to wake up

To get where no one goes
You need to walk alone
The only shit you know is
Lies that you've been told
All of the news, all of the rules
Everything cool is made up
They want us to lose, we're hitting
Snooze, we need to choose, to wake up
