joshface - democratic backslide lyrics
[verse 1]
i am the lowest of the hierarchy
the opposite end from the bourgeoisie
i was told that this was democracy
but if that’s true then why is there a monarchy?
i believe in social equity
but this feels more akin to tyranny
i grow tired of this capital society
for as long as we’re oppressed we will never be free
[pre_chorus]
don’t you think that there could be a better way?
don’t you feel a better system could be put in place?
’cause i can feel my life just fading away
i can’t keep up this momentum just for minimum wage
[chorus]
we threw ’em in the river and they dredged them back up
we threw ’em in the river; they imprisoned us
they made it a crime for us to protest
this is the regime of the new fascist
you take one step forward and two steps back
now put your hands in the air like you’re under attack
your future’s taken out from in front of your eyes
let’s all do the democratic backslide
you take one step forward and two steps back
’cause your freedom of expression is under attack
[verse 2]
we just wanted to make history
and come together in solidarity
the government is subject to scrutiny
for we have no protection or security
will you heed the calling from masses
or continue to appeal to the upper classes?
oppression should never be celebrated
abuse will not be tolerated
[bridge]
we’re slipping, and we’re shifting into autocratisation
and i can’t bare to see the current state of the nation
through strategic harassment and manipulation
i can see the rising toxic polarisation
[chorus]
we threw ’em in the river and they dredged them back up
we threw ’em in the river; they imprisoned us
they made it a crime for us to protest
this is the regime of the new fascist
you take one step forward and two steps back
now put your hands in the air like you’re under attack
your future’s taken out from in front of your eyes
let’s all do the democratic backslide
you take one step forward and two steps back
’cause your freedom of expression is under attack
[chorus]
we threw ’em in the river and they dredged them back up
we threw ’em in the river; they imprisoned us
they made it a crime for us to protest
this is the regime of the new fascist
you take one step forward and two steps back
now put your hands in the air like you’re under attack
your future’s taken out from in front of your eyes
let’s all do the democratic backslide
you take one step forward and two steps back
’cause your freedom of expression is under attack
“aw, man!”
