[Verse 1]
E
I couldn't be anything that I didn't wanna be
F Dm Eb
It's stubborn as hell or a problem with authority
E
'Cause it won't mirror your image of masculinity
F Dm
Oh did I disappoint ya?
Dm Eb
Sorry to disappoint ya
[Bridge]
E F Dm E
What will you do when the vultures come for you?
E F Dm
Will you run and hide?
[Verse 2]
E
And now we're breeding a feeling of animosity
F Dm Eb
Our thoughts are tribal, go viral and now it's deafening
E
Oh how we're loving the comfort of pack mentality
F Dm
The internet has teeth and
Dm Eb E
It eats and eats and eats ya
[Pre-Chorus]
E F Dm
So are you scared of your introspection?
Eb E
Why could that be?
F Dm
Oh, maybe you object to what you find there
E F Dm
And as you stare into your own reflection
Eb E
What do you see?
F Dm N.C.
Your black hole for a soul
[Interlude]

[Interlude]
E F Dm
[Verse 3]
E
So how's it being a prisoner of your own illusion?
F Dm
Up on a pedestal reveling in your own confusion
E
I see you hide behind your alter or your constitution
F Dm
But you can't live forever
Dm E
In your own echo chamber
[Verse 4]
E
And you're so scared of the people up in your fairyland
F Dm
But how can you hate something you don't even understand?
E
Oh, you're a walking contradiction in a MAGA hat
F Dm
It's where I wanna be
Dm E
God bless the land of the free
[Verse 5]
E
So who are you to tell us where we do and don't belong?
F Dm
And who are you to tell us who to love and who to not?
E
Because your mother told ya you would win when you were young
F Dm
Oh it's a boys wonderland,
Dm Eb E
We know it now
[Verse 6]
E
But now the liberals aren't liberal, they're just as venomous
F Dm
And you can't have an opinion unless you're one of us
E
No second chances, you're branded, your kind are dangerous
F Dm
We're bringing each other down
Dm Eb E
We're tearing each other down
[Verse 7]
E
So have I gotta kill myself to be original?
F Dm Eb
And if I f**king hate you all am I a criminal?
E
Can you afford to be an individual?
F Dm
Can you afford to be an individual?
[Outro]
