Human Conditioning

Full album available on audius

Prime time television tells me what my family should be
While the nightly news tells me that my neighbor wants to kill me
TicTok and Instagram show me just how low we're sinking
While the darknet and the chans show me just how fast its burning

I'm not the only one who has the eyes to see
The one recurring theme that just keeps on repeating

Be afraid of the left, be afraid of the right
Be afraid of the black, be afraid of the white
Be afraid of the gay, be afraid of the straight
Be afraid of the love, be afraid of the hate

Its time to feel alive
And reach across the fake divide
We have the same red blood inside
We don't need to live in fear until we die

So I'm jaded and cynical that fact is not lost on me
But I cannot sit and stare and hold my tongue quietly
To keep one's head in the sand to me is quite disturbing
I'll stand and raise my voice til everyone has heard me

Fear is the bait inside the trap for which we yearn
The distraction that keeps us in line is everywhere we turn

Be afraid of the left, be afraid of the right
Be afraid of the black, be afraid of the white
Be afraid of the gay, be afraid of the straight
Be afraid of the love, be afraid of the hate

Its time to feel alive
And reach across the fake divide
We have the same red blood inside
We don't need to live in fear until we die

Be afraid of the left, be afraid of the right
Be afraid of the black, be afraid of the white
Be afraid of the gay, be afraid of the straight
Be afraid of the love, be afraid of the hate

Its time to feel alive
And reach across the fake divide
We have the same red blood inside
We don't need to live in fear until we die
