I’ve had enough
Had enough of this century
I’ve had enough
If this is how it’s gonna be
We used to verbalize
Now we’re balkanized
We bark at each other like rabid dogs
It’s a parody
Of a threnody
Consuming trash like gorging hogs
Seven trumpets are sounding
Take me anywhere
I’m no billionaire
All I want is to stay alive
This ain’t my century
Precious little snowflake
Is exploring her identity
While her sister in the Middle East
Is stoned ‘cause she wants to be free
You’re a hypocrite
And I’m sick of it
Keep on posting - no one cares
When narcissism
Masquerades as activism
It’s a sad, sad state of affairs
Not one I want to be found in
Take me anywhere
I’m no billionaire
All I want is to stay alive
This ain’t my century
Take me anywhere
I’m no billionaire
All I want is to stay alive
This ain’t my century
