Christopher Esse - This Time Lyrics

These days we don't get along, we fight for the right to be totally wrong
We tolerate lies as valid dissent, and treat our opinions as absolute fact
The odds are even at one to one that sooner or later we'll all become
Sociopathic sycophants, radicalized by radio rants

These days we know a lot more, more about everything than ever before
If knowledge is progress, it's fair to ask, how come we agree less and less
Divided we stand, poor against poor, shamelessly rolled by political whores
Sacrificial supplicants, praying for lives we'll never get back

Forget the rules, they're insane
This time it's not the same
The clock is ticking faster each day
This time it's not the same
This time... this time it's not the same

So now you're asking, who's really to blame, aren't we just playing the usual game
We're mad at the rich and sick of the poor, we want it to be like it was before
The system itself has split at the seam, forcing all sides to either extreme
Autonomic adjutants, marching to war in a terminal trance

Forget the rules, they're insane
This time it's not the same
The clock is ticking faster each day
This time it's not the same
This time... this time it's not the same
Forget the rules, they're insane
This time it's not the same
The clock is ticking faster each day
This time it's not the same
This time... this time it's not the same
