Zeus Can’t Handle This

Intro] Let’s be honest Some authority just hates a confident crowd [Verse 1] He wanted worship, distance, hush He wanted heaven to stay a club Wanted the bright stuff top-shelf high Wanted earth to keep looking up, asking why But once the flame got into the room Humans stopped shrinking to fit the gloom They learned to gather, build, compare To question the shape of the rules up there And nothing rattles a throne quite like People discovering their own light That’s not rebellion for the thrill alone That’s dignity learning to stand on its own [Pre-Hook] He called it disrespect They called it growth [Hook] Zeus can’t handle this, no, not now Too many minds standing tall somehow Too much light getting passed around Too much courage coming off the ground Zeus can’t handle this, hear that sound? That’s old control getting nervous now When the people learn what they can become Even thunder starts sounding dumb [Verse 2] So maybe the myth isn’t just about gods Maybe it’s every time some system nods And says, “Be grateful, don’t ask for more” While it locks the key in a private drawer Maybe it’s bosses and boards and states Any loud machine that resents awake Maybe it’s personal, too, in us Every tiny fear that says, “Don’t trust Your better thought, your harder truth Stay small, stay safe, stay easy, soothe” But the spark says no in a cleaner tone: “You were not made to stay unknown” [Bridge] So let the sky get dramatic, loud Let the old guard posture proud Progress doesn’t need permission slips It moves in hearts and fingertips [Hook] Zeus can’t handle this, no, not now Too many minds standing tall somehow Too much light getting passed around Too much courage coming off the ground Zeus can’t handle this, hear that sound? That’s old control getting nervous now When the people learn what they can become Even thunder starts sounding dumb [Outro] That line right there? Put that on the mural
