Nuance Is Dead!

Climate infographic at the top of your timeline
While you light off lots of fireworks for the Fourth of July
Let's ban plastic straws and buy more disposable vapes
Doesn't count for anything if it's aesthetic waste

We'd care more about space if there was oil in the stars
But who are we to say if there were dinosaurs on mars
I'm sick of egotistic villains and their shit electric cars
I can't believe we let it go this far

Performance activism
A pretentious cataclysm
Of people who all think they know better than the rest
They'll silence your existence
Don't Say Gay, and don't resist us
And Paris is Burning, but America is next

Icarus is crashing so much closer to the ground
I don't recognize the highways that invade my hometown
You can only like an artist if they're cool and underground
And your boyfriend says slurs when he thinks no one's around

Watching the death of original thought in real-time
Don't need critical analysis when I can just retweet a headline
Sick of notes app apologies clogging up all of my timelines
So I'll just quit while I'm ahead
'Cause nuance is dead

Sick of striving for perfection
When I can't stand my reflection
Terrified for the election
A republican erection

Banning critical race theory
A gay leftist, you should fear me
'Cause I'm coming for your children
And I'll corrupt all their thoughts

Epicurean philosophies
Collapsing our economy
Political monopolies
And corporate ideology

Inflation calculation
Pedophilic masturbation
Can we please just pump the breaks?
Don't know how much more that I can take

We lionize celebrities
And throw aside integrity
Legalize Methamphetamines
Recreational Ketamine

Schools filled with assault rifles
Kids found dead upon arrival
Don't prioritize survival
Regulations are archival

So I'll kill myself for fun
One more hit and then I'm done
If I'm destined to die
Might as well get really high

Watching the death of original thought in real-time
Don't need critical analysis when I can just retweet a headline
It's not like it matters anyways
You've already heard what I'm gonna say
A soundbite on TikTok you heard earlier today

So I'll just quit while im ahead
And go back to bed
'Cause nuance is dead
Nuance is dead
Nuance is dead
Nuance is dead
