Dystopia (Put Your Hands Up)

(album: The Future Is Dark - 2023)

Check, check, check, check

Yo, live every day like it's your last one here
Eat every meal until your plate is clear
When you cry, empty out your eyes of every tear
Because death is near, death is near

And you could go up, or go down
Put your hands up, and then down
You could climb to the top but you gotta hit the ground
You could climb to the top but you cannot keep the crown
And it could go up, or go down
Put your hands up, and then down
Getting high, smoking pot, the way I gotta hit the ground
Living every day like it's my last one around

I eat the bullshit that they sell me, I don't have an option
You making less but all the prices go up when you shopping
They watching everything you do, especially when you talking
They watching everything you do, especially when you talking
Live every day like it's your last one alive
But it's hard when we find ourselves fighting to survive
What's the point of hiding it?
Why do we even try if we die?
Who decides that we leave it all behind?

I eat the chemicals, plastic, and artificial dyes
I know it's unwise, but I got nothing to work with
Get that money first and then worry about your purpose
"Get that money first and then worry about your purpose"
That's what they tell you, 9-5, overtime working
They want you suffering and begging that it stop hurting
The company CEO just bought his wife a Birkin
The company CEO just bought his wife a Birkin

And you could go up, or go down
Put your hands up, and then down
You could climb to the top but you gotta hit the ground
You could climb to the top but you cannot keep the crown
And it could go up, or go down
Put your hands up, and then down
Getting high, smoking pot, the way I gotta hit the ground
Living every day like it's my last one around
