lyrics

price tag blues

y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news

plastic trash piles up in the oceans
a horror movie revealed in slow motion
makes me wanna be a bacteria able to corrode
wanna eat CO2 like red hulk in rage mode
we're addicted to money and poison, that's all
but if we can't fix this, then mankind will fall
we're too hypnotized by our own inventions
than to organize for a New World with good intentions
we've destroyed our planet with the most passionate devotion
the climate, uncounted species, and with little emotion
self-proclaimed culmination of evolution
is killing all life in its own pollution
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck y'all
what the fuck

y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news

It's just a day in the life, living in the system
You gotta work within them, even though you are against them
And no matter where you go, should you test your bravery
You'll realize the system we have only recently evolved from slavery
but now your master is money, it's the golden rule
that whoever's got the money makes the rule
And if you wanna discuss the merits of our economic philosophy
It just so happens Bee has got two business degrees

listen up class in our consumerist reality
You know exponential growth can't go on infinitely
And if the system's so great, why does it keep dividing
when we really need something supportive and uniting!
And just when you start to feel that you're developing community
Then the real estate crooks come to buy up your scene
And that's called freedom, and that's called development
The rich rob the poor forever, but we only call the opposite violence

i don't get it
this society is corrupt and immoral
if there are aliens on other planets
i'm sure they treat their own kind much better
and if so, i'd like to claim asylum

my own idiocy is hurting me
i'm my own enemy, shot my knee

there's plenty of reason why you should trust me
as i'm not sponsored by any fracking industry
if you change the winds the storms and the floods
its either to dry or sink in the muds
and when the droughts come kick in
it's the dry salt on your skin your licking
i see death wish and self destruction everywhere
no matter how far you go it's already there
in the water in the air in our stomaches in our skin
a lose lose situation and no one will win
22nd century romance submerged in trash
what's left to ponder in the worlds ash?
here's your receipt
the one you better keep
the one you better study
lack of clean water will soon get bloody
for so many it already got tough enough
near future is gonna get rough

lets pull resources lets join forces
lets all end up having intercourses
yeah lets have some fun. come on
no use for greed
just take what you need

flood and tide worldwide landslide
suicide extinction amplified genocide ain't right

y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
it's a struggle to win when you're setup to lose
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
can't afford rent but we've overpaid our dues
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
wonder why another country just attempted a coup
y'all listenin' to the price tag blues
see on the streets and read it in the news
