The year started out with such promise
take a look at my newsfeed you’ll see i’m being dishonest
2020 visions of planes being shot down
WTO knocked down
Shut the block down
Some guy ate a bat and now we on lock down
Robinhooders putting their cocks down
To buy puts on a stock that ain’t never gonna drop down
Living your life through an Instagram filter
Basic maths got you bewildered
Basic tasks got you off kilter
While I’m hiding my stash in physical silver

WTI going down like a Cessna
Scooping up airlines looking distressed
Screenshot my portfolio just to impress ya
Oil and gas sticker on the back of my Tesla

Think the economy turns on Condos and coffee shops
Can’t take a diss without it coated in chocolate sauce
entry level doesn’t make you a boss is all
living in a city where the house price will never fall
Precarious employment don’t see any nervousness
Life is just a series familiar circuses
Pills to alleviate that feeling of worthlessness
The only money in real estate and services
More concerned with the immediate social aspects
Disregard for the underlying assets
Dispose income off a barstool
You tell me who’s the greater fool

Shit, didn’t mean to offend you
Coming from a place with export revenue
Pull you aside for a secondary interview
Without immigration we’d be finished I’m telling you

Overall it will take more than a war to make it fall
As we call, for city hall, to line them up against the wall
After all, it’s been more than once or twice they’ve dropped the ball
Like a 737 in a stall
But I doubt you care at all

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Stuck in the digital structure which contains us
iCloud to store pics of their anus
Till their account gets hacked and they’re quick to arraign us
Social media spewing Manufactured nostalgia
Throwback Thursday’s got me tired like fibromyalgia
Wondering why the robot factory hasn’t recalled ya
You forgot to have a new personality installed
Ya see I’m getting a little tired of these moral niceties
Completely undercutting the social complexities
Ignoring the unpleasant political realities
As if awareness alone is going to help to cure a disease

Wouldn’t it be nice to revise the wrongs we can’t undo
But there’s nothing we could change that would make us feel better
Or generate any real value
No need to get excited
If I knew it was wrong then I could right it
No sense in trying to fight it
Wouldn’t our parents be delighted
I was just a selfish kid
All the heartless things I did
All the burden could be rid
New found freedom wasted
New found freedom wasted
New found freedom wasted
New found freedom wasted
