EVIL 02:28
Breaking news: worlds gonna break in two Fuckin saw that coming, but what we gonna do Well it dont affect me so must have been fake news It's all the cloud people, they out to control you So find your scapegoat blame those who are below you Never confess, project, just be like no u Shakin hands with pedos, when asked say I dont know you Epstein didn't kill himself, the meme was fuckin no use  I'm scared of our president outright threatening our blacks I'm scared of the police buying weapons with our tax The only thing to fear is fear itself so relax Except fear is a bio weapon stronger than anthrax They make us all afraid of ourselves and each other Tear ourselves apart go to war with our brothers Best counterattack is to love one another So best know your enemy or continue to suffer (motherfuckers) Existential dread making me think we'll all be dead soon Stuck in bed the pain is starting to feel like a head wound Unrest to protests to rioting it's spreading Escalating tensions give way to fuckin beheadings If Robespierre had a twitter his following be massive Let them eat cake on trending no one'd be passive If Voltaire was around he might be teaching classes But it takes chaotic passion to really capture the masses  That Beeblebrox energy, president of the galaxy Two heads a heart of gold but no morality A leetle cock must be a prereq to be a leader Cuz their ego is just a projection of their anatomy Those who deserve power will never seek it The truly best leaders too busy helping the needy To get to the top you gotta be a little evil Every villain is lemons so tell em limes will be their freedom Seems our choice is always between the lesser of two evils Yellow or green, red or blue, it's all the same Either way you're left with a sour taste And the knowledge that nothing will ever change

Run Away 02:53
Please come run away with me Promise you'll be safe with me This world is a fucking disaster Evil is spreading like cancer Gotta move faster They say kill your masters I'm too much of a pacifist Let them harass us Been feeling so guilty I ain't doing enough to be saving my city This shit is a pity At least I got you with me Let's get the fuck outta here Please come run away with me It's not too late Promise you'll be safe with me It's ok RUN AWAY

[TF lyrics] 2020 vision is gone I need my glasses My mind feelin so damn worn thoughts like molasses Predictions of the future are increasingly bleak Who knows what it'll be like next year next month or next week Climate change, AI brains, all so strange and macabre  Scifi in range of reality, we still dreaming like Cobb We in the matrix, plugged in our bodies skewered like kebabs Trinity lucidity a constant sense something is wrong Big brother is watching, expect a knock in due time Bezos alexa telescreens listening for your thought crimes  See they work you like a delta plus then numb you with soma Cuz your minimum wage is just enough for corona (extra) Watching from the bleachers as they play the games of hunger Who will volunteer as tribute to stand up to the fearmongers Can we beat the inequity, can we spread the wealth and plunder Or end up like district 13 and go hide out in the bunker Seems like every year this shit gets weirder and weirder still Seems like every year humanity's demons are clearer still If you live in constant fear of demise, well join the club, join the club At least we know we're not alone, we're not alone [Enter Shikari lyrics] I'd like to welcome all my people here  But listen everything you love is about to disappear I feel it coming there's something in the air But this is living, oh its modern living yeah We're apocaholics Drinking gin and tonics Lying in the flowers Counting down the hours

Fire Nation 03:57
One day I took a trip to the California forest When I arrived the trees were all set ablaze Wish we could save the world from this neverending torrent We could clear the air of all this haze These days its a competition of who can get the warmest If you burn the most then you'll get a raise The way we're going soon we'll all have to live in orbit We'll miss the times we could hide in the shade We used to treat the earth with such respect But everything changed when the fire nation attacked We're all hungry for power all hungry for cash We must restore the balance before we collapse We used to treat the earth with such respect But everything changed when the fire nation attacked We're all hungry for power all hungry for cash We must restore the balance before we collapse Two million years ago our ancestors first discovered how to bend fire to their will Ever since we have just been inventing more clever ways to manipulate this fire to our advantage To light our paths To cook our food To transport our bodies And connect our minds Fire is the element of human life And technological development has become our Sozin's comet It empowers us for great creation As well as great destruction Our collective soul has met the devil at the crossroads Will we pawn it off Use our firepower to decimate all life on earth Or can we realign our values Usher in a new era of balance and prosperity We used to treat the earth with such respect But everything changed when the fire nation attacked We're all hungry for power all hungry for cash Can we restore the balance before we collapse

HOLOCENE 04:16
(You should feel pretty lucky. If we look at all of Earth's fossil record together, 98% of all species that have ever lived are extinct) All black like an oil spill, we never seen (We are in the sixth mass extinction) Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams (And this time, we're the asteroid) All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene On my mass extinction shit, no survivors Global superpredators, we got no rivals Took out all them big cats, king of tigers Like Joe Exotic with top hats, we the suppliers What you need we got it Green paper lines our pockets Skyscraper penthouse poppin Lil gas never hurt nobody From Rockefeller to Ambani Pump plastic bottles like Dasani Nestle GE BP raise the GDP bring in the big money Power your 1080p HDTV with dino corpses Watching your Fox News tell you your views without using primary sources Those white boys burning crosses are the same ones working forces Rage against the machine, defund the police, but we'll never recoup these losses Maintain the immolation exploitation status quo Kick off the defaunation population domino The ecosystems all connected, carnage outta control Got biped wisdom but our planets wrath we have provoked All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene Listen, I ain't caring bout Karens They minds so fragile and barren Ride sugar daddy's McLaren Mad to the max Charlize Theron Them weekend flights to McCarran Bet all their bread on the barons You want some cheese they ain't sharing Got this disease from they parents Entitlement is inherited Bigotry is inherent Humility is aberrant Your infancy is apparent You brought your guns to get hair done Searching for losers look there's one I'm out here schooling like Sheldon Second big bang it will spare none, ay Defilers of science the climate's a myth We have the high ground Revenge of the Sith Four billion life years but only the sixth SpaceX will save us but that's just a trick It's way too late to discover a new world No more clean slates so they cash out like Bloomberg Argue up high we regret-a like Thunberg You a denier then we got two words FUCK YOU Burn in the hell that you've created for us This carbon dioxide wasteland from burning down all the forests Thermometers don't lie guys our home is getting warmer Like our AC is broken and no ones fixing the transformer The scorched earth so big black and beautiful like Lizzo Entire world consumed by this craft of war like Blizzard The one percent are farming your organs King Gizzard Cuz ain't no planet B to escape to ya fuckin lizards All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams The most invasive species yeah that be humanity All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene All black like an oil spill, we never seen Lurking deep beneath the soil, cop that nether green Save the earth from our regime, those some hollow dreams Bitch don't fuck with my team, we're the Holocene HOLOCENE Humankind accomplished its dreams, long live Anthropocene

Didn't choose to be a human Didn't ask for an early grave Didn't choose to be an American Didn't ask for this path we paved Didn't choose to be a minority Didn't choose to be the majority Didn't ask for your authority Didn't choose to be a slave Gotta make do with this life we're given Gotta make do with the time we got Sometimes it's all so fucked up But we can't just let us rot So as much as I hate you all Can't help but love you too Cuz the one thing that could save us all Is understanding I am you And we are one The enemy of extinction is regeneration The enemy of apathy is education The enemy of hostility is cooperation The enemy of prejudice is communication The enemy of incompetence is ingenuity The enemy of disease is immunity The enemy of hatred is empathy The enemy of division is unity The enemy of extinction is regeneration The enemy of apathy is education The enemy of hostility is cooperation The enemy of prejudice is communication The enemy of incompetence is ingenuity The enemy of disease is immunity The enemy of hatred is empathy The enemy of division is unity
