your change is in the wrong pocket

you wrapped all your insecurities inside boxes
check marked labels pleading to be sold an individuality
the company will provide your personality
that's not quite as unique as you think
as your being sold everything including the kitchen sink
packaged & shipped straight to your instaham feed

these habits, they're obnoxious
we used to fight for the exact opposite
but nothing's really changed besides the dialect
marketing towards a fresh, new audience

it's more of the same are the people to blame?
the one's manipulated to play the game?
assaulted from birth to feel the shame
if they're not sporting designer brand names

it's a trap that keeps you in debt and
yer damn right the banks will collect
on your 40 hour a week plus paycheck
playing on your researched animal instincts

these habits, they're obnoxious
we used to fight for the exact opposite
but nothing's really changed besides the dialect
marketing towards a fresh, new audience

stop looking to the shelves for representation!
stop looking for corporate validation!
sold to every generation!

these habits, they're obnoxious
we used to fight for the exact opposite
but nothing's really changed besides the dialect
marketing towards a fresh, new audience

how megalo can you go?

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

so you must be wrong

spraying prepacked accusations like bullets from a gun
keeping eyes blind, ears deaf 'til the war is won

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

so you must be dumb

I'm not your stepping stone so call off the attack
and if i wanted to hear ya talk I'd pull the string on your back
you stroked your ego so hard it's all out of whack
behaviors of a textbook megalomaniac

you don't understand
no, you don't understand
you don't understand
but I understand you

sweat, tears, & blood

keep on spinning that wheel
so hesitant to slam the brakes
they don't care about me
and they don't care about you, oh, it's true
just a few broken eggs in a carton,
tossed side and they'll cut their losses,
hormone stuffed hens in the coop
the genome human noodle soup

we're an endless supply of resources
worker drones for unseen forces
bred for production, growth, consumption
eat, work, sleep, TV compulsion
keep having kids, keep going to work
and keep those thoughts yer having fucking corked!

they got us they pegged, they got our number

 exploited by our weaknesses, by our addictions
they got us pegged, they got our number

lulling us all into a slumber

the microscope revealed
a disease in their hearts and minds
yeah, a virus so sinister and so vile
it's got a taste for human blood
it'll never be sated, it'll never be enough

they want your sweat, tears, & blood

it doesn't care about me
and it doesn't care about you
no,they don't care about me
and they don't care about you
