Repeating empty words

Relying on deflection

Duplicitous response

Toe the line until the next election

Buying time until attention runs out

Endless stream of vapid distractions

Paid to keep the peace and get out of the way

Perpetuation that requires inaction

It dies down then it happens again

Another shooter out for revenge

On a system that will always win

A machine that profits at our expense

Recyclе empty words

The power of dеflection

Focus on the next scare

Cover up the infection

Place the blame on another scapegoat

Continue to demonize mental illness

Toxicity trickles from the top

A culture that encourages this sickness

Sales climb alongside the death toll

Fight for the country's fallen soul

We climb deeper into this hole

A fractured mess on the payroll

There is a way-

To tear down these walls that support today

This is the time-

To rewrite this book a different fucking way

Corruption comes in different forms

As long as markets perform

We turn a blind eye to the truth

And prepare for the next storm
