Song of My Misery

Hey. We're all grown up now. Fuck.

Don't it feel like yesterday, We Were just dumb kids?

We were playing, havin fun, just like some dumb kids.

No obligations,

expectations,

Information

Livin' in such bliss

Now,

Stacy's on the phone,

complainin bout inflation.

Her deflatin

income's in the pit

Where's my reward? For dealing with this?

They say work through the cough

Freelance work life is tough

Your hard work will pay off

But it seems to me,

So feathery

They lie through their teeth

The system's so obscene

We thought the cops were here to help

Believed insurance cared 'bout health

Hardwork was rewarded wealth

But life is rigged, and a living hell

I simply couldn't conceive

What I'm forced to perceive

My goals can't be achieved

While the rich exploit and deceive

I just need to scream

This life, ain't no dream

President Supreme

Ignoring Our Needs

Normalizing Greed

Head of the Regime

Salutes to the King

Aristocracy,

Sounds pretty crazy

Won't let us break free

Likes rats in a maze, he

Pollutes the Mainstream

Polutes the Gulfstreams

Pollutes our Protein

Pollutes our Vaccines

Pollutes Liberty

Pollutes Everything

Pushing for Extremes

Promotes Guillotines

They claim clean energy will be the key

And the only thing gettin’ green

Is Elon Musk's Wallet

Where's my reward? For dealing with this shit?

I can't afford to cough

Doctor bills hit rough

My Credit is all off

It Ain't the Society

It Claims to Be

They Lied to Me

When I was three

Aristocracy,

Sounds pretty crazy

Hospice Bills Slay Me

The Rich Call Me Lazy

Freedom, independence,

Guaranteed Dependence,

Exploiting our lives

Eroding Our Rights

Trans violence on the rise

Feel like I need to fight

But how do I fight for civil rights

When I only have the skill to write?

A speech ain't gonna bring change

Believing different is deranged

The rich profit off of hate,

Nativity won't help us escape

If you just brush off

Threats from Elon Musk

You will miss the fact

He controls Donald Trump

The most powerful man

Pegged by a troll

With more concentrated wealth

Than most governments

The genius inventor is a lie

You don't get rich by being kind

Musk's success is plagiarized

His only skill is committing crimes

Iron Man isn't nice

He'd only snap to sacrifice

Our souls for his next prize

He'd sooner colonize

genocide and euthanize

Than allow us a slice of the pie

Breaking the law

Isn't the cost

of business

It IS the business.

Don't it feel like yesterday, We had done all this?

Leaders lying, laws undone, just like some dumb kids

Now,

Freedoms on the line, hate is on rise and that is by design

We're Divided; Unity is in the pit

This game, it isn't new

It fames the chosen few

It shames those it cannot use

And capegoats to excuse

They justify the pain

They inflict in rage

Cuz We die in vain

They say We need saved.

But What they can't perceive

Or just refuse to believe

Hist'ry can't be cleaned

While they still receive

profit from the achieve-
ments of the aggrieved.

We don't need saved by the bourgeoisie.

We need saved from the bourgeoisie.

They aren't white knights in shining armor.

They're clansmen with white colors.

They swapped the robes for suits

wear ties instead of hoods.

But what underlies is the same

Oppressive systems of greed and pain.

Am I Useless?

To fight against this shit?

All I can do is write

I can't write laws to fight

Art won't protect our Rights

It's eating me,

This big machine,

Grinding us with teeth

Older than the Queen

Layoffs Across the Nation

Shrinkflation Exacerbated

Defunding Education

Devastating Generations

Ignoring Legislation

Ruling by Declaration

Freedom by association

Of the administration

Cutting Regulations

Allowing Discrimination

Banning Medications

Kills our Civilization

I tried breaking free

But still stuck in chains

I'm worked like a slave

While acid's in the rain

Off to the side in the shade

That I worked hard to make

Are the rich

Laughing at my pain

When We were kids, We played

But this ain't, no game

These are people's lives,

That you mine, and claim

Like caves, you excavate

With oil, you take

With our kids, you cage

With women, you rape

I say “Accommodate”

You say “A waste”

You’re so filled with hate

You just can’t wait

to grind our lives

Erode our rights

We suffer in fright

While you smile in delight

Is this my reward

For putting up with this?

You play your games

Make us all pay

For your tax break

It seems shitty

That companies

Have more rights than Me

What a sight it must be

Top of the world, a King

The sunset haze gleams in spring

The subjects Play Strings and Sing

Songs of My Misery

Echo all your Failings.

What you call “information”

I call Indoctrination

What you call “education”

I call Cultivation

What you call “inauguration”

I call Celebration

What you call “deregulation”

I call Degradation

What you call an “invasion”

I call Immigration

What you call “relocation”

I call Deportation

What you call “delusion”

I call Inclusion

What you call a “nation”

I call “Corporation”

What you call “motivation”

I call Discrimination

What you call “isolation”

I call Segregation

What you call “salvation”

I call “Occupation”

What you call “Purification”

I call “Elimination”

What you call “collusion”

I call Collaboration

What you call “escalation”

I call Demonstration

What you call “mutilation”

I call Retribution.

When We were kids, We knew

What compassion could do

The world could be anew through

Loving those different than you

Too many adults outgrew

This simple point of view

Hist'ry told untrue

Only Acts to subdue

Oppress and undo

Marginalized commu-
nities efforts to

Dismantle the wealthy few.

All the lies you taught.

All the coups you plot.

All the wars you fought.

All the blood you clot.

All the victims you shot.

All the oil you got.

All the land you bought.

We thought We'd be paid our worth.

We thought We'd inherit the Earth.

But We just inherited your trash,

weapons, hate, and wrath.

Satan doesn't reward his puppets.

At death, you're dragged to the pits.

While you drown in your Greed,

The world's still turned to shit.

Now We get to spend our lives

Cleaning up your mess

I hope it was worth it

Cuz, again, We paid for it.
