Rise, Fall, Crumble

Conflict, risk, uncertainty
Impossible to know what to believe
Violence and instability
There's an imminent collapse
(Cuz) Hegemonic power eventually implodes on itself
Rotting by the hour, heading straight to hell
Rise, Fall, Crumble
Empires end in rubble
Greed and fear are fueling this beast
In the land of ubiquitous cognitive disease
Who's piloting this busted machine
Cuz it's about to fucking crash
It's happened before, it'll happen again
History proves it's an everpresent trend
Power corrupts all women and men
And by then it's too late
Fear my rumble
Rise, Fall, Crumble

The Design

I always had a suspicion
You know it's not really hidden
You see it's all profit driven
And it's all by design
To create a hive mind
They're stealing our time
The ballot's been cast, the results are in
Everyone's a loser no matter who wins
You see the truth is a lie, now ask yourself why
You've ever believed anything you were told
You're playing a role
In this world that's so cold
It's inevitable
You'll fold in on yourself
The secret is out, the conspiracy's real
The world is for sale, and the price is a steal
We all know who's to blame, addresses accompany names
But nobody wants to go to jail
We're conditioned to quail
Accept that you'll fail
Now just make the sale
Because the rent's almost due
It's all by design

Swamp Jelly

I wage a war with reality
We battle every day
There's always something to consume
It leaves me nothing good to say
Drowning in a swamp of Coors
And blind apathy
Water level's on the rise
My mind atrophies
Let it go
It's my turn
Pass it here
Let's watch the world burn.....
Or maybe just cartoons
It's like I'm reading absurdist meta-fiction
But this shit's so poorly written
News confuse, information overload
the main server until it explodes
Characters that I can't believe
I'm surrounded by infinite screens
I'm watching them while they're profiling me
But it's mostly just to sell me more shit
Dystopia's not even exciting
I'm bored as hell, we should be rioting
What the hell am I waiting for
I guess just the next commercial break
You know it ain't half bad
Living here in my swamp
No it ain't half bad
Let it go
Kiss me baby
Don't fuck around
It's just the world that's crazy.....
