lyrics

When I am looking at the ocean
I am waiting on a plane to crash
I am watching every plane waiting for one to crash
I am waiting for the plane to crash right into my house

How could any group of anyone get anything so wrong?

Welcome to our new reality
A spy is always watching over me
Welcome to, this has been reality

I will not play my part in this system
Why god, why a great power conflict?
I will not be apart of this business
Please no, not a new great power conflict

When I am looking across the ocean
I am scared, we are all scared, I am growing scared of oceans
I am scared of people too
I’m scared of people just like me and you

Someone has to die

Buy a gun
For your house
Teach a kid
How to shoot
Take a risk
Blow it up
Do it now
Do it now
Wait some more
If you wait
You’ll be dead
Kill them now
Don’t be scared
Kill them now
Justice now
Justice now

I don’t want want to be a spy

Sell a gun to everyone today
Children here are born to kill as play
Normalize the death and poverty
Call the land that’s taken usa

Children here will see the violence there
Children there will see the violence here
Raised in violence raises violence yeah
Now we’re ready for another war

Territory that belongs to no one no one no one

Territory that belongs to no one will get you killed for what?

Great power conflict is never your fault
It’s always freaks with a different revolt
Lose all your hope and obey those who lead
Systemic failure is built in too deep

Great power conflict

These contradictions will drive us apart
It never changes, we’ll never get smart
New technological ways to consume
Deadly concoction, we all know we’re doomed

The British and Chinese and Russians and Arabs, and right wing imperial dumbass Americans

We just want to die, yeah
