How Did This Happen

This is new Bodega's song

It’s new world now
Don’t discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave

It’s new world now
Don’t discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave

How did this happen?!
How did this happen?!

I see you walk past the demonstration
Two chips on your shoulder
You’re a culture connoisseur and your pain is real
Two chips on your shoulder

Stuck wading through a crowd of radical daughters
Barricades armed by empty strollers
Basic slogans to combat controllers
See them dance from afar to guitar on your shoulder

As you smugly walk past
Think, these people should be here regardless of outcome
As you smugly walk past
Think, there’s a half-off sale at the Barnes and Noble

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

You’re cueing deep cuts as you glide escalator
Two chips on your shoulder
Face pressed to glass looking down at the mass march
Two cans on your shoulder

Your playlist knows you better than a closest lover
Your playlist always desert island disk
Your playlist will curate you songs of the oppressed
Look at the marquee in 1080p

As you smugly walk past
Think, these people should be here regardless of outcome
As you smugly walk past
Think, it’s an island of blue
It’s a nipple in water

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

It’s new world now
Don’t discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave

It’s new world now
Don’t discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?

This machine you know it don’t kill fascists
This machine just softens what’s hard
This machine it killed the dream of the sixties
This machine you know it’s just a guitar

As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself
How did this happen?
