Truth Hurts
Mascara streaks
on expressionless faces
punk-metal fills the air
a swarm of pierced humanity
hits the mosh without a care
Rabbit holes of red-hot coals
their world spinning on a string
empty souls dance to Dave Grohl
life to them, a fling
Rubber necks on double decks
Russian missiles fill the skies
distant fires from funeral pyres
the flames flicker in their eyes
Tattered seams on crocheted dreams
slip knot future up ahead
poisoned streams and noiseless memes
They’ll dance until their dead
Don’t you ever get so tired
of all the bullshit in the air
Politicians always wired
pretending that they care
Don’t you long to get inspired
get this train back on the track
Aren’t you sick of being mired
in never forward always back
We’re in need of revolution
a youth-led promise towards a day
when our leaders represent us
without their interests in the way
Aren’t you tired of being berated
your world twisting on a string
all the truths interrogated
while the lies go on to sing
Band together to form your power
march into the voting booth
Turn the day into your hour
cut down the lies and raise the truth
