Lyrics
The Tik-Tok prophet with the chemical smile
Sells panic and chaos, but broadcasts in style
Says the truth is elastic, a product to lease
To the masked-up faces of the modern police
Their newsfeed is talking about the thing they adore
And the next day they tell you it's the thing they abhor
And a fractured society, eats it up as mindless
Watch the world burn on mute because they are spineless.
Ok, let's be honest
Every accusation is a true confession
So, let's be honest
Every supposition is a sweet concession
I'm pointing at the people who think that they're modest
We see right through you, if we're gonna be honest.
The pretty things glitter in rooms made of glass
They film the disasters and think they will pass
With hearts made of metal and cruelty wire
They add their best filter to the funeral pyre
A tragedy flickers, a fashionable tear
Then it's lost in the static of a sad, modern year
We're all just strange actors in this passionless play
Waiting for Godot or the end of the day.
And oh, man, let's be honest
All their accusations are really just confessions
It's time, my friend, to be honest
Every supposition, a fortuitous concession
Let's curse all the liars and frauds in the game
Exposing their con and resistance to shame
Let's be honest.
And don't speak of only a few bad ones
When there's barely a few good ones
'Cause they're actually the shook ones
Ignoring all the took ones
So we want a rebellion? A potent good sign?
To give us new meaning on our broken-down time?
That's a fair expectation for all in despair
'Cause the system we're smashing is fashioned from air
The only real treason, the ultimate sin
Is to not peel back the skin they are in
Ignore them when they're on their best behavior
And do us all a favor, stop looking for a savior
So let's be honest...
Their accusations... are their true confessions...
