The Jackals
We argued about policies and what is fair
We fought about fake news and what was true
Our kind regard descended into bitterness
A wedge between us two, dividing me and you
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
Divide and conquer is their strategy
Brothers fighting brothers is the plan
Poisoning our words, distracting you and me
While stealing all they can
The money and the land
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
Trolling the proles
Sewing discontent in hearts
And planting seeds of resentment and frustration
Probing our roles
Pressing differences so we don't rise
To smash architects of manipulation
Somehow we got turned around
We got to bring the jackals down
Pull off the shackles and storm the castles
And burn them to the ground
No compromises, too late for kindness
Let's take the privilege that they denied us
And build a world that's fair and just and sound
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
We argued about policies and what is fair
We fought about fake news and what was true
Our kind regard descended into bitterness
A wedge between us two, dividing me and you
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
Divide and conquer is their strategy
Brothers fighting brothers is the plan
Poisoning our words, distracting you and me
While stealing all they can
The money and the land
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
Trolling the proles
Sewing discontent in hearts
And planting seeds of resentment and frustration
Probing our roles
Pressing differences so we don't rise
To smash architects of manipulation
Somehow we got turned around
We got to bring the jackals down
Pull off the shackles and storm the castles
And burn them to the ground
No compromises, too late for kindness
Let's take the privilege that they denied us
And build a world that's fair and just and sound
Can we just talk?
You cut me off, unfriended me
Cuz I'm in shock
Ten years of trust gone instantly
And if you think I'm your enemy
The damage has been done
And the jackals have won
We argued about policies and what is fair
