lyrics

Don't you feel just an ounce of pride as the sky is getting dark
You see yourself in the subway ads and the city council did their part
You thought you'd die before you saw a world where you were safe
But which world were you hiding from in the first place, first place

They wouldn't use that word if they knew what it meant
They shouldn't fuck with us, yeah I'll call it a threat

Don't you feel just a little used as you catch the bait and switch
No one ever threw a brick cos they wanted to get rich
It's getting better, I know it's getting better, but it's cheaper at the same time
But what I do is my business, and my business ain't theirs to mind

What price freedom
Flip cards, read ‘em
Have you ever felt cheated

They wouldn't use that word if they knew what it meant
Don't fuck with us, yeah I'll call it a threat
They wouldn't use that word if they knew what it meant
They can't market to us while they're biting the curb

Doesn't it feel odd
The problem that you kept down low but for the fear of death
Is being sold back to you
Counterculture was just another way of keeping up appearances
A boy's club and a dead dead scene
And I'm invisible now
Living like a fraud and caught between the dead and capital
Alone with my hang-ups
But where do culture's waters end
Am I luckier than most and what do I owe them
When institutions criminalize peoples' inner lives
Sometimes privacy is loneliness or company is crowding and that's why I'm moving to Miami
