lyrics

Step into the ring of town rule
where everyone wants a piece of you,
even if you weren't elected
or just trying to vote for truth.

Now armed with cynical intent
pitting neighbor against neighbor,
you can't plea for democracy
while embracing corporate commodity.

And boom, here it goes! How quick we forget our manners,
the right swings back, riles up the crowd
and no one thinks for themselves!
And boom, here it goes! The sneers and jeers of the mob
who just want to be catered to without
having to work that hard.

The people vote and they head home, but did anything get done?
Surrounded by well-off townies who bow to Amazon.
Crawl through an unknown jungle to profit off property,
but only for those who live past the common and their skewed
views of courtesy.

And boom, here it goes! Left alone with my thoughts.
Realizing I never belonged and deluding myself of such.
And boom, dissolved! Nostalgia has its cost,
but inhospitable courtesy ain't enough to change my thoughts.
