lyrics
uh, uh, uh-huh
yeah, i've been up there before
and paradise is nothing if not a bore
fuck your second-wave bullshit, this a read more
'cause one of them's empowered while the other one's a whore
who's to say that we buy into any of your lore?
we're in the periphery, you're lying in the core
cutting out tongues to the beat of 4/4
selling your morality in civilized stores
but it's not about your eden, it's not about your life
it's not about your guilt or your bougie strife
so soak your imaginary wounds in ice
since when did we have the duty to be nice?
brown eyes, blue eyes, you think it's so bad
under "how i felt," you penciled in "sad"
listen up, a couple hours ain't got nothing on a lifetime
in your ivory tower you won't ever need a lifeline
but you still got one, how's that working out for you?
fearing we'll attack, even though we never do
you try to laugh it off, say it's just your motley crew
brand yourself an ally, say justice is overdue
but you're in the chair, saving me from what?
from the natural order? keeping all the borders shut,
y'all say the police are simply trying to protect us
but they break our arms and return to their bench press
so i want you to say with a straight face
that we're preaching some reverse hate
you want my sympathy, you're several centuries late
deny my personhood, i refuse to take the bait
it's not about your eden, it's not about your life
it's not about your guilt or your bougie strife
so soak your imaginary wounds in ice
since when did we have the duty to be nice?
it's not about your eden, it's not about your life
it's not about your guilt or your bougie strife
so soak your imaginary wounds in ice
since when did we have the duty to be nice?
it's not about u
