Recorded November-December 2020, at home, in the basement.
lyrics
He’s talking the words of outsiders,
but reading the script from his buyer.
What a fuckin' surprise, he’s a liar.
Is it anyone’s news there’s a market for grifting
pills for the brain and the diet?
Call a broken shop window a riot.
If there’s a redpill you want, you can buy it.
They’re all standing in line to be the next mouthpiece for
some billionaire who wouldn't scrape you off his shoe,
if, and when, he steps on you.
Did you forget that it's a grift?
Don't believe your own bullshit.
They're walking the hallways of power
with a second for you, but an hour
of time for the men who would shower
them with the cash and post-job connections.
Honesty just doesn't cut it;
you can take all your hard work and shove it.
If you show 'em your face, they will rub it
into some shit, and ask you to like it
for billionaires who wouldn't scrape you off their shoes,
if, and when, they step on you.
Did you forget that it's a grift?
Don't believe your own bullshit.
