Trapped in a farce of mediocrity
This isn't the future they promised me
All hope's expired and I'm wasting my time
So uninspired I'm bored out of my mind
I walk through streets so gentrified
They destroyed everything that made this city alive
Whitewashed, censored, razed to the ground
To make room for the haves while the have-nots drown
Stuck in a world that wants to push us away
So sick of the system that keeps us afraid
What once was ours has been homogenized
Counterculture unrecognized
It's up to you to tear it all down
Blow it to pieces then turn it around
Cut the wires and pull the lever
Better always than forever, better now than never
The sun is setting on a smog-filled sky
Above dystopian ruins, a future of lies
I'm in such a state of desperation
My senses are dulled by my inebriation
Down on Skid Row, I see the dispossessed
The rich get richer while the poor get depressed
Somebody save us from ourselves
Take us away from these circles of hell

Trapped in a farce of mediocrity
This isn't the future they promised me
All hope's expired and I'm wasting my time

Whitewashed, censored, razed to the ground
To make room for the haves while the have-nots drown
Stuck in a world that wants to push us away
So sick of the system that keeps us afraid
