## Lyrics

We're fucking in a car, shooting heroin

Saying controversial things just for the hell of it

Selling melanin and then suffocate the black men

Start with misdemeanours and we'll make a business out of them

And we can find out the information

Access all the applications

That are hardening positions based on miscommunication

Oh, fuck your feelings

Truth is only hearsay

We're just left to decay

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

And poison me, daddy

I got the Jones right through my bones

Write it on a piece of stone

A beach of drowning three-year olds

Rest in peace Lil Peep

The poetry is in the streets

Jesus save us

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

Yes, I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

I'd love it if we made it

Tell me something I didn't know

Consultation

Degradation

Fossil fueling

Masturbation

Immigration

Liberal kitsch

Kneeling on a pitch

"I moved on her like a bitch!"

Excited to be indicted

Unrequited house with seven pools

"Thank you Kanye, very cool!"

The war has been incited

And guess what, you're all invited

And you're famous

Modernity has failed us

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

Tell me something I didn't know

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it

And I'd love it if we made it
