Normalisation

Lets declare war on this civilisation,
Where people just care about their own situations,
A selfish design just care for your country,
And its all your own fault if you ain't got the money.
I'm sick of this blood soaked narrative we use to hold people in contempt,
If we swallowed all our pride and just helped each other think of the deaths we could prevent.
I can not believe, What I'm seeing on the TV,
There's death and destruction and staving children for the fifteenth time this week,
But when our sympathy is lacking, We shut the boarders to prevent,
All these refugees we claim to be helping, its the villains we represent,
When was it normalised?

Infinte Arguments

I see you want to get in to an online argument,
There's a couples things you need to note right down,
First things first nobody wins,
Were all losers here and that's where story begin,
I see you've studied up, the information to hold up your facts,
Quoted all your sources, and you think that is that,
but you've missed a little trick, a simple slip of the hand,
A super small mistake but they'll jump on what they can,
Now I'm not one to judge on your spelling mistake,
But on this racist platform your completely out of place,
Now you've got a new acquaintance watching everything you do,
He's a Psychopathic hypocrite that never follows through,
It's a match made in hell that you never could defeat,
Now you argue in a cycle that your doomed to repeat,
I don't want judge on grammatical errors,
But people will notice it instead of the point you try to make,
And I'm not one to judge on what want to achieve,
But bickering is pointless if you cant convey what you mean,
And All this anonymity, leads to mob mentality,
There sending out death threats, well you know how it goes,
The racism and hate they spread, spewing from these reddit threads,
it can be blocked, but that's just a drop, it will never stop you know,
Freedom of speech dose not mean you can say what fuck you like,
And the people who abuse this should lose their golden right,
I'd like keep replying but well ill be up all night,
I hope these persistent fascists don't really exist In real life.

Dinosaurs VS Robots

Find us, Working away on machines,
Trying hard to Make all our ends meet,
This is not what I envisioned for me,
All these tasks are so pointless,
I cannot find enjoyment,
In wasting the light of another day,
If a robot could do it better,
Why have me in its place,
My heath is a intricacy,
A dam right liability,
But with machines it doesn't have to be the case
I can't believe its come to this,
Were Hypocrites when we raise our fists,
Can't Slow progression to autonomy
Making up jobs just for the sake,
To protect a system out of date,
It should be easy to let it go,
THIS WORK WAS MEANT FOR DRONES,
I think it's time we took a good hard look at the work we do and what we could mechanise,
When our actions are scripted, We shouldn't be conflicted,
But its ingrained our minds, To make money for our lives,
I am an organism posing a circuit board,
Just trying to conduct myself appropriately to afford,
A mediocrity I mention it to hunger for,
And so I press my uniform and wear it like a life support,
Where is the future that our science fiction promised us,
We've got the means to be entirely autonomous,
Instead we manufacture stresses to feel relevant,
We'll celebrate our arrogance and die like dinosaurs
I can't believe its come to this,
Dinosaurs fighting against it,
I can't believe its come to this,

Self Deprecating Humour
03:01

Here I go again I'm using self deprecating humour,
I'll just use my flaws as armour so I can protect my self!
I got a problem, no ones noticed yet
But I'm still picking apart the things that I regret,
I need a way out, before I suffocate,
Before I pull the pin and gladly seal my fate,
Cause I love myself, I hate myself, I need to get a grip
I love myself, I hate myself, I know I'm full of shit,
But it don't seem to matter much, Ill hurt myself ill patch it up
Rinse and repeat the process, I hope one day ill heal,
Cannot get away, That's what you always say,
Know ill never win, So give up and give in,
I'm just not good enough, why can't you just shut up,
I think I'm at the end, oh here we go again,
Here I go again I'm using self deprecating humour,
I'll just use my flaws as armour so I can protect my self!
I'm so sick of my self fascination,
I can't find love in my occupation,
Can't get rid of this procrastination,
Ill never be the person I want to be,
He's on the posters and the magazines,
He respectable and still obscene,
He's image sold to the teens,
But he's not a human being,
Stop me if you've heard this one before,
but you just can't seem to get yourself off the flaw,
Mistakes that you've made a hook up in your brain you just can't get away,
See I thought about it time to time,
Pushed it down or to the side,
it eats away at my insides,
Eventually to blow my mind,
I starting think ill never win,
I'm stuck in my repeats again,
I wish could just find a way to STOP,
STOP STOP STOP STOP,

Pandora lets talk about this box,
Or my chastity belt lock
I been so board of you today,
breath a sigh as hours slip away,
I'm getting sick with the small talk about nothing,
Interesting, Let me elaborate a bit,
I think were all way to vanilla,
I think we could use some kinky conversation to liven up tonight,
I think were all afraid to try,
So lets just try, an give an insight
Pandora lets talk about role-playing and dressing to impress,
lets talk about BDSM or how hot wax makes such a mess,
Wanna have this brand new butt plug mate,
It's a bit more than I can physically take,
How about humblers, whips, restraints,
Ball gags, you'll get no complaints,
Pandora, lets talk about sex toys and the money that your spend,
Lets talk about strapons how you want too peg your boyfriend,
Lets talk about you, lets talk about me, lets talk about bisexually,
Lets talk sounding man you know, Things where there not supposed to go,
Pandora lets talk about this box,
Pandora lets talk about this box,
Or how I haven't cum in a couple weeks,
And my balls are so blue I can barely speak,
Next time I won't last long,
But my god its gonna be fun,
Pandora lets talk about this box,
The smell of rubber gives off,
All these poppers we ingest,
bought em cheap the Internet,
A ruined orgasm for two,
The next ones better I promise you,
Follow through or drag it out,
For your vision can come true,
My friends are Pandora's, through and through,
We talk about everything taboo,
Being caged or licking boots,
Or Men in well tight latex suits,
More than what other people discuss,
Theirs just no limits to all of us,
Don't be fused, have some trust,
If your weird, well I can't judge!
(Because I'm so much worse)

Honest Politics
02:13

Every single day,
You find a another way,
To it chunk it up and privatise,
No matter what you say,
Your In it for your self interest,
Returns on money you invest
Overt but you'll still protest,
With simple parses like!
Trust me I'm a politician and I'm fighting for the rights of you.
Trust me I'm a politician and you know I'm going to see it through.
Don't trust what the media says well it is all fake news,
Trust me I'm a politician and I will definitely screw you.
Trust me I'm a politician,
Trust me I'm a politician,
Trust me I'm a politician,
Can you believe they write this shit,
See I do not want to generalise,
But we do need to demonise,
Those who seek to capitalise,
By being in politics,
Those people we should criticise,
And Ultimately neutralise,
But with the public hypnotised,
We will never escape the spiel of:
