Too Far? (outgroup version)

lyrics

I ain’t conceding shit
I’d rather drown in it
Admire my razor sharp wit
While I’m up to my neck in it
Close shave in these dark days
Spill my own blood in the first wave
I’d rather lead the charge
Than get caught up in the malaise
Trying to piece it together
Fools errand, based on blind faith
Can we honestly say
We know for sure it’s the right way?
Or should we cut the cord
Let it rot away
Save these thoughts for another day?
But they’re not gonna tweet themselves
I’d like to share a little piece
Of my own personal hell
So you can feel what I feel
You get the gist? I’m not well
And you can ache like I ache
Or you can make like I make
And give it all away

Am I irrelevant?
A product of a privilege?
I’m reaping all the benefits?
Yes, there’s an element of truth but they take it too far

I ain’t feeling it
All you plebs are talking shit
I’ll mind my own and make the best of it
Just like I always did
Contain all those wild ways
Sit back, wait to be saved
By she, he, him, her and them
How you gonna save the world
When you don’t know who you are
Is anyone’s guess
I mean no offence
Makes no sense
The ‘vulnerable’ amongst us
Breathing down our necks
Telling us we’re broken
But that’s not how I feel
No doubt the worst is yet to come
I’m just trying to be real
Depleting my wealth
With every single word I spit
Probably end up in the gutter
Depends how far I get
Sure I can’t be relied upon to hold my tongue
I’d rather rip it out than
See this madness go on

Am I irrelevant?
A product of a privilege?
I’m reaping all the benefits?
Yes, there’s an element of truth but they take it too far
Just a photofit
A poor man’s Identikit
Just like with everything
There’s and element of truth but
They take it too far

Am I irrelevant?
A product of a privilege?
I’m reaping all the benefits?
Yes, There’s an element of truth but they take it too far
Just a photofit
A poor man’s Identikit
Just like with everything
There’s and element of truth but
They take it too far

Yes, yes you are
Yes, yes you are
Yes, yes you are
They take it too far
Yes, yes you are
Yes, yes you are
Yes, yes you are
They take it too far
