Western Planning Was of Doubtful Success

Sinews are breaking on the back of the world as we eat our dinners
Heated by electromagnetic radiation which we're never afraid of
We wanna be the part of the philanthropist
We don't wanna need to be constantly reminded
That our problems are vapid

We want a tenuous relationship with all of our subconscious habits
A sort of cultural relativism that part of me suppresses

We don't wanna be a part of the problem
Yet there's no means to finding solutions
Our contributions are seen over surveillance through our screens
Oh no, I don't want all my conversations to be harvested by bots

You've seen the lecture
But you don't wanna hear a single word
Ambivalence is your protector
No one wants to be the elector, just the projector

Menus are vacant on the back of the world as we eat our dinners
What am I, a good upstanding citizen to do
We wanna see a picture to just intake the gist
We don't wanna see the true beasts that exist
They're sort of a letdown

Compared to all the other stimulus we have at our fingertips now
No one wants to be the aggressor, just the bystander

We don't wanna be a partisan nation
We crave to be in a constant state of aggravation
We chase a standard of living, of luxury, that only one percent attains
We don't wanna be the last hope that remains
