collapsing scenery - deep state كلمات الأغنية

the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you barely have to squint to see it
the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you hardly have to squint to see it

we’re both looking at the same d-mn thing
you see a kingmaker, i see a king
you see a board room, i see a chess board
they’ll protect the royal court
under threat of the sword

a missed encounter with the real
them towers falling didn’t change the deal
they just pulled the f-ckin’ curtain back
now they act more brazen with a lot less tact

the power’s in contracts, it ain’t in congress
cspan is theater, man, no more, no less
on everything important there’s broad consensus
from the hacks to the pols
to the bosses they can sense us

getting restless, but man they couldn’t care less
we’re screaming in a vacuum: ‘transparency and fairness’
they tell us they’re with us, their condescension’s regal
no conspiracy their hegemony is legal

and that’s the f-cking thing that keeps me up at night
power builds a force field, hides in plain sight
the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
and to these motherf-ckers man your life is cheap

the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you barely have to squint to see it
the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you hardly have to squint to see it

from the motherf-cking beltway to silicon valley
from langley to bluffdale, wall street to raleigh
data -n-lytics, high frequency trades
financialization, privatized highways

sacrifice zones left to wither on the vine
while shareholder pockets just keep getting lined
a minor offense: disenfranchis-m-nt
while monumental theft
gets you a slap on the wrist

internal colonies just swept to the side
while urban babylon grows higher and higher

for generations the injustice piled on
redlines, white mobs, black blood smiled upon
the gi bill, the new middle cl-ss
and swaths of black veterans left out on their -ss

coercion automated, the illusion of choice
locked into systems in which we have no voice
fodder for ad-men, grist for the mill
we’re all willing dupes at the mercy of shills

the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you barely have to squint to see it
the deep state, man, it ain’t even deep
you hardly have to squint to see it
