we've settled for the plastic future scabbed knees, still believing in counterculture in a life outside the great divide, the better side emancipation as the rising tide or just a place to hide whoever seeks soul instead of gold joy not pleasure upon coming home whoever dances the night away wakes to the trivial next day we think that we might have a future still believing in counterculture only privilege can buy a life outside commodified liberation as the rising tide or just a place to hide whoever seeks soul instead of gold joy not pleasure upon coming home whoever dances the night away wakes to the trivial next day

anytime you hear me sing that song you know it's been too long phases outphased out of business, numbered days some say we gentrify on movements we can't rely a generation of drunken denial when it's just the years gone by nothing but years gone by no more you don't belong no more time to feel wrong resign from the designated this is any city's song is it true we always leave a trace wear our past with grace wildest theories we need to keep them untamed some say you can't rely on movements that gentrify a generation of drunken denial while the years, they just go by no more you don't belong no more time to feel wrong resign from the designated this is any city's song

Road Rash 02:34
they say that the world keeps turning there's no past tense of learning drop out of common knowledge get used to the smell of piss and gasoline you'll never find that better day have the heart to break away you'll never find that better day on our way out of society we'll burn the love we got for free burn out, leave nothing to economy so you're on the road far away from home so many faces, you say they leave you cold just like that everlasting whisky your story's getting old you'll never find that better day have the heart to break away you'll never find that better day on our way out of society we'll burn the love we got for free burn out, leave nothing to economy

what is wrong it's no surprise their attitude is your demise that what is gone has been living on has been living on for way too long your hope is bought your struggle sold out and back to you in disguise what you resist takes lives to exist is survived by chance still going strong the past keeps living on for way too long it's not history if we can't learn tables won't turn while bridges still burn xenophobic system sits and waits till negligence disseminates
6.
it's the confusion of the illusion that we're all gonna be together forever what is a place you like to spend time at? say who, what, which and where give a description, create a context cause all we're doing is setting the scene say who, what, which say who, what, which and where say Hugo Ball, say Hugo Ball say Hugo Ball and Baudelaire cause all we're doing is setting the scene why is it that you like this scene? it gave me a reason to raise my voice i think that's basically why i like to go there be part of the show there it gave me illusion of choice i think that's basically why i like to go there get in the know there
7.
been standing in line for the longest time forgot there's not just one war but every day one more the only thing we share are screenshots of empty thoughts in waves trending, tidal, viral some years ago some reasons to riot now the new loud is forever quiet all you get is desensitized to a freedom in disguise survival at the cost of alienation put a Starbucks-ripoff on my street give me a week then that's where i'll work that's where i'll eat in defeat some years ago some reasons to riot now the new loud is forever quiet all you get is desensitized to a freedom in disguise

it seems you've been down every street how they say – you stood on your own damn feet got the run-down, running from that thief the ruler of the night – is he just on your mind never fall behind, the so-called other kind behind the next tree, there just might be another case of patriarchy I won't look up to you reclaim the night, give me something new gimme something new gimme something new give me a darkness i can see right through I see right through you you danced to that beat were swept off your feet on your way home you wanted to be alone the ruler of the night is he just on your mind? never fall behind - what you can't see I don't dress up for you i'm asking for it - tell me something new tell me something new, tell me something new give me a darkness i can see right through

they tell you to go but you won't they want you to know but you don't duties kicking at the door you just don't open anymore you've got three jobs but you're poor story ends, face down on the shopfloor just leaves you stronger than before dare you to ask for more don't open that door anymore you buy your cage over the counter you play your cards under the table they define your rage by the price you pay no more don't open that door anymore no more
10.
it's not just a figure of speech i'm not gonna repeat dismantle the phrases you teach not gonna bow in defeat It's not just a hole in the ground it's where the unsung truth is drowned the triumph of bureaucracy: voices silenced silently not gonna bow in defeat not gonna make your ends meet burning houses, flowers line the road just a another incident, we're told while conservatives align racism unfolds in due time not gonna bow in defeat not gonna make your ends meet

Shake It Off 02:11
turn it off same old song i keep singing along, it's wrong all i ever wanted to be free from those hetero-policies their laws of duality the knife of dichotomy i wanna shake it off are you with me or are you free am i with you or against me a party of two or maybe three love is not possession you can't own me cut me pieces from your past give back that bakery of jealousy i don't want to save the best for last give back that bakery of jealousy sign me off, burn that lease the restless ownership of thieves how can we ever learn to be paperplanes of selfsufficiency cut me pieces from your past give back that bakery of jealousy i don't want to save the best for last live on that dead end street of jealousy i wanna shake it off so we can make it last
12.
you just can't dance to these songs playing on repeat spent all you had but skipped the beat we feel the lack of something in everything we're haunted by the ghost of possibilities be it freedom or movement or speech honesty or just the friendship that sets you free shortage, fault, defficiency in every single one of my worlds and i can't break free from lack of immediacy there's only one world i can change starts with you and me we feel the lack of something in everything we're haunted by constrictive categories be it class, gender, or nationality or just the person you'll never be like a weapon to a crime we stand together, fall in line and the feeling of passing time is just the moment that isn't mine it's never mine and the hands we held were the ones to pull us apart and the nights we shared felt like tomorrow'd never start we couldn't start again start again
