mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)

[pre verse]
meet me where the shadows leave no traces
in the sp-ces between what is seen and whats erased
this is no game, misstep and your wrist will get chained
delete you from the mainframe – that’s why use code names

[verse 1]
it’s a movement in the loosest usage of the term
producing noise, can’t get a consensus on the words
scatter shot pretentious agendas are never ending
deadlocked – talks suspended over who will be offended
democracy is designed to self-destruct under pressure
dead by its own hand. f-ck it. whatever
live by compromise or die by hair trigger semiotics
that nothing’s ever good enough politics
– it slaughters us
all of us have seen the fall in one way or another
discovered what’s involved
and why some were made to suffer
upper versus lower with the illusion of a middle
seduced recruits removed from use
– confused by truthless riddles
can’t find the time
to outline the design of our confinement
everyone’s too busy grinding, strict and steady 9 to 5ing
this is why we are in hiding, no temptation by incentive
we always need reminding that our stations are invented
dissent is not the end, it’s a call to conversation
but too many people talking drowns out communication
our sections are susceptible to saboteurs and instigators
who would blur the lines to justify arresting us as traitors
because every generation wants to be the last
giving up the reins – that can be a lot to ask
this isn’t resistance, it’s about our existence
left divided, riding to a belligerent extinction

[chorus]

[verse 2]
instead of talking
we could be rocking 33 revolutions per minute
committed and resolute not letting arguments inhibit
and being considerate of infinite permutations
as impermeable proof
that truth just suits the user at the moment of its use
cannons are loose
while the world we knew is reduced to ashes
firebombs rain and rolling iron smashes
still we raise our gl-sses. still we talk of glory
televisions tame us telling someone else’s story
pop is what sustains us, stock markets serenade us
we’re sick of lemonade
but they give us lemons for our wages
please, mister, can’t we make some changes?
and won’t you look me in the eye
before you write me off as nameless?
an aimless generation inheritors of dead industries
legacies of shameful behaviour and shallow victories
so we rise to the occasion or stay divided by details
divided is how they like us ‘cause united we’d prevail

[chorus]
mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)
mic check (mic check)

[verse 3]
meet me where light draws diamonds from your breath
where we can meet in secret without fear of arrest
where it isn’t left and right
because left and right suggest
that one is a departure while the other is correct
meet me where we can keep trying not to drown
where we can meet each week
to keep ourselves from falling down
where we can speak together in a unified sound
that will penetrate the surface from the underground
