What We Should Have Done _____________________________ new king same as the old king dancing on puppet strings offering only ideology as team versus team can't see oligarchy past the duopoly if all you ever do is choose between the two corrupt fools that they're offering you then you get that future crush that's coming to you life askew as collapse continues triangulation gambit strangulation death-grip don't ever question it even if empire falls hardest on the heads of the miserable ignorant fifty years of brutal austerity as every last penny gets sucked up by plutocracy trust me it's gonna hurt you much worse than me been screaming through these broken teeth since the last century some will pay in dignity some will pay in blood but none of us will outrun what we should have done bespoke news feed simple misdirection swinging to the beat of a fascist algorithm lies on lies psycho-supplication desperate nation bleeds for the holy corporation prophets of profit preach bottom-line rising like the dogs of war they're all are lying drug czars laughing neighbors dying yet all i ever see are clown-car riots history never repeats no but it's echoing with more ferocity for ever-more atrocity though their winning comes only through our willing complacency their game can't sustain all these crimes of empire we must exact change even though we're tired cuz when the choice becomes starvation or the fire most will fight the pangs and choose to light the pyres some will pay in dignity some will pay in blood but none of us will outrun what we should have done
