What They Say Lyrics by Protest Art

When It All Comes Crashing Down

0

[Verse 1]
They tell me I’m obsolete
So says the elite
You might be alive but you can't compete
They want wheels and I've got feet
Cutting costs for a nicer seat
So they can sit back, look back, and devastate the world with a single tweet, from their penthouse suite
(Let's go)
Two steps forward, ten steps back
Why do I feel like I'm under attack?
Every other day another mother cries herself to sleep
Questioning the dreams she can't seem to keep
The job and the house and the backyard mouse
The quiet slice of paradise eaten by a parasite
Another subscription to feed an addiction
Ignore all the friction
We killed the priest while he read the benediction
(Ugh)
[Hook]
They don't need us anymore
We're not good enough to sleep on their floors
They don't want us anymore
Because they can't treat us like their whores
Oh!
[Verse 2]
They tell us we’re antiquated
Not automated
We've got no use to them if we can't be activated
They want modern and we’re outdated
Being used by the tools that we've created
So we can look back and die over-stimulated
(Ugh)
Be weary of the stage that the prophet stands on
The mob will eat whatever they can get their hands on
Be careful with your life under the microscope
Try not to overdose when you micro-cope
Rolling on the floor trying not to breathe
Another minor stroke
Paper says the micro-man couldn't take it
Funny fucking joke
[Guitar solo]
[Hook]
They don't need us anymore
We're not good enough to sleep on their floors
They don't want us anymore
Because they can't treat us like their whores
[Bridge]
Before the darkness
Just after the flash
There was no fall
There was no crash
And in the end it wasn't even about the cash
It was the men in the tower
Hungry for power
Sweet on the ear but a soul so sour
The world they made was gray and dower
They sucked the life out to kill the hours
THEY SUCKED THE LIFE OUT TO KILL THE HOURS
UGH
[Hook]
They don't need us anymore
We're not good enough to sleep on their floors
They don't want us anymore
Because they can't treat us like their whores
They don't need us
They don't want us
They don't need us
They don't want us
