I wish I didn’t know about coronavirus
I wish I didn’t know about mumble rap
I wish I didn’t know about Miley Cyrus
I wish I could forget about all that crap
I wish I didn’t know about Harvey Weinstein
I wish I didn’t know about Donald Trump
I wish I didn’t know about Jeffery Epstein
I wish I could forget about all that junk
* I wish I could forget about all this fucking shit
Designed to control your mind
You’re not aware of it
Ignorance is bliss they say, so make it go away
I want to obliterate that part of my brain
Make it go away! Make it go away! Make it go away!
I wish I didn’t know about Carole Baskins
I wish I hadn't seen her on pornhub
I wish I didn’t know about murder hornets
I wish could forget about Beelzebub
I wish I didn’t know about corporate corruption
I wish I didn’t know about the government
I wish I didn’t know about replacement migration
I wish could forget 'bout the environment *
I wish I didn’t know about communism
I wish I didn’t know about the middle east
I wish I didn’t know about globalism
I wish I could forget the mark of the beast
I wish I didn’t know about the New World Order
I wish I didn’t know about Mandalay Bay
I wish I didn’t know about the Rockafellers
I wish all that shit could just go away *

Ready To Run

No one came to my party
No one wanted to have fun
All the good times are over
But I'm still ready to run
Sitting here alone at the bar
Sitting here wondering where you are
Everyone knows I'm a loner
Still, I wanted you to come
Oh, my heart is young, Oh, my heart is young
Oh, my heart is young, And it's ready to run
Whatever happened to excitement?
Whatever happened to the plan?
Everybody's hidden in their own world
Like they've got their head stuck in the sand
I had lots of friends at one time
Everybody wanted to have fun
Now I have gotten so much older
But my heart, it still wants to run
Oh, my heart is young, Oh, my heart is young
Oh, my heart is young, And it's ready to run

Help Is On The Way

Help is on the way!
The messenger arrived on time, but they may be delayed,
Help is on the way Help is on the way!
If you are waiting for someone to save you,
Help is on the way. Help is on the way!
The transmission frequency was beamed into space,
so help is on the way
The S.O.S. was intercepted, but then it got relayed,
so help is on the way. Help is on the way;
the rescue squad is rushing out,
they're gonna save the day, Help is on the way!
If you just sit tight and pray, everything will be O.K.
'Cuz help is on the way

Playing Human

Listen to the lies, liberty will die
Nobody knows why, we are just playing human
Listen to the noise drowning out your voice
Believe you have a choice, but we're just playing human
Trapped in a rat race, hectic modern pace,
distractions in our face, but we keep playing human
Plugged into machines, pacify the sheep
The rabbit hole is deep, and we're all playing human
It's an illusion we're all trapped in
It's a condition, we're wrapped up in this skin
But we are only playing human
Glued to the TV, Idiocracy has become reality
Cuz we keep playing human
Always on the phone, afraid to be alone
You're in the Twilight Zone and you keep playing human
Lost in a movie, deceived by what you see,
a brainwashed fantasy that we're all playing human
We're fed a web of lies to keep us all in line
It's time we realize we are just playing human
It's an illusion we're all trapped in
It's a condition, we're wrapped up in this skin
But we are only playing human
It's an illusion we're all trapped in
It's a condition, we're wrapped up in this skin
Playing human

When I was young I dreamed about the future
Thought I’d be a star
But time moves fast, it leaves you in the past
And I’ve lived too hard, I still bear the scars
When I look back I have a lot of regrets
Burned some bridges down
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve made some enemies
So I got outta town before the shit went down
But I’m playing the hand I get
I’m gonna place my bet
I’m gonna save my best card til the end
I’m playing the hand I get
When I was young I dreamed I’d have a lover
Who blew my mind away
The trouble with that with all the beauty you get
All of their insane, it will mess up your brain
So, I changed my mind, evaluate my life, reprioritize
I put the brakes on my destructive ways
So I could stay alive and strive to thrive
But I’m playing the hand I get
I’m gonna place my bet
I’m gonna save my best card til the end
I’m playing the hand I get

We Are The People
03:12

We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us what to do
We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us what to say
You've got no authority over me, you're not my king
We're gonna break away and be free, cuz…
We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us who to be
We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us what to think
We're not gonna listen to the bullshit and the lies
We're not gonna fall for it this time, cuz...
We are the people, and you don't have the right to listen in on me
We are the people, and you don't have the right to censor everything I see
And, the bureaucracy has tainted everything
Big Brother and Uncle Sam are always fucking watching
And, if you don't stand up for your rights, you're gonna lose them
Don't let someone else decide, it's you that's got to use them
It's time to build a new national identity
America was supposed to be the land of the free
What do you mean I can't say that? What do you mean I can't smoke that?
And what the fuck do you mean when you say that 1/3 of my pay will get thrown away
On some social program or some war machine or some fat cat's greed or politician's scheme
I still believe in the American dream where people are equal and have Liberty
So, come on everybody and sing with me this song of Freedom and Equality:
We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us what to do
We are the people, and you don't have the right to tell us what to say
We are the people! We are the people!

I Don't Know Why I Try
02:10

I don’t know why I try to peek inside somebody’s mind
I don’t know why I try to be polite
I don’t know why I try to keep my life inside the design
I don’t know why I try to tow the line
And it feels alright when I’m out of sight
And it feels alright when I lose my mind
I don’t know why I try to please the people who ruin my life
I don’t know why I sacrifice my pride
I don’t know why I try to deny the fire that burns inside
I don’t know why I try to hide the light
And it feels alright when I’m out of sight
And it feels alright when I lose my mind

Its enslaved mankind 4 centuries
it's an evil force that you can't see
it's a minor chord in a major key
it's a spiritual war, brother can't you see?
when the food is fake and the streams ain't clean
when they fry your brain with radio beams
when they pump poison into the air you breath
when they drug you up to keep you asleep
it's the vampire that saps your energy
and keeps you trapped in the low frequency
it's the pigs that keep you on your knees
it's the crushing boot of authority
when you witness police brutality
when you stand by and watch with no sympathy
when you're so filled with hate and bigotry
that you've got no room for empathy
it's the unending greed of the elite
it's the lies they tell to pacify the sheep
it's distractions to keep the whole world asleep
so we don't look too deep at all the secrets they keep
when they collapse the economy
to keep the peasents in poverty
when the cure is worse than the disease
when you sacrifice freedom for security
it's confusing kids with sexuality
it's imaginary identities
it's degraded morality
it's a slippery slope to insanity
when you're brainwashed by ideology
when you believe all the false prophets you see
when you're addicted to technology
when you've abandoned your humanity
