I know this town like the back of my hand I know how to get lost ‘cause that’s where I am Far from the picture that’s been painted Even in a good light it’s a shallow interpretation It takes a gaslit nation to stand behind the crimes coming out of our paycheck And meanwhile wonder when your dreams will make it out of bed It seems so hard to make things happen I can sympathize with a suicide You know we’re living through a functioning crisis Self-destruction lights a fire but my hands are megaphones pointed at the sky ‘Cause spite burns brighter Don’t matter your social status or where you came from We’re all living under someone else’s thumb Compartmentalizing our freedom as means of production Hostages for someone else’ profits Never trust a president Never trust a nation Don’t assume your teacher is right Do your own education History is a record And it’s never an accident when you find out what no one ever told you It will unfold into the truth I hate the USA in particular On performative holidays It’s time to pay up and quit praying to the flag and calling it values See Algernon Cadwallader Live Get tickets as low as $34 You might also like Million dollars Algernon Cadwallader World of Difference Algernon Cadwallader Attn move Algernon Cadwallader My hands are megaphones How are we still drowning in overflowing wealth Pitting one and all against everybody else My hands are megaphones Pointed at the sky My hands are megaphones (It's like people only do things because they get paid, and that's really sad)
