This Is Beneath You

from Heretic by Eddy Dyer

/

lyrics

They keep your head in a tailspin,
Your finger far from the pulse
They fill your head with false alarms
And fuckness knows what else
Your hand held screen a gilded cage where
You’re fed with leaden spoons
What pittance your obedience bequeaths you

The lords of boomer-geddon
Wearing sequin dollar signs
A members-only cesspool
Selling off misguided minds
They crush the crane, bury the blade
And call their right divine
But don’t think for one second they don't need you

Guide me through this lazy sea
Of shallow men who think they’re free
If you’re still here, still listening, I beseech you;
Remind me what I’m thankful for
Before I go and join some holy war
You can polish it but the stench will never leave you
This is beneath you.

The bosses laugh along their way
To the gladiators' cage
Where they market you your misery
And sell you back your rage
Your right to raise your fist in anger
Ends beyond the stage
And if you call them out no one believes you
They keep your head in a tailspin
Your heart far away from the beat
They take your youth and beauty
And they won't even print a receipt
Your shiny dealer rationing out endorphins on repeat
But don’t think for one second they don't need you.

Guide me through this lazy sea
Of shallow men who think they’re free
If you’re still here, still listening, I beseech you;
Remind me what I’m thankful for
Before I go and join some holy war
You can polish it but the stench will never leave you
This is beneath you.
