The Age of the Karen

[Verse 1] They came with smiles and they came with demands Said the old ways were evil and needed to be banned They spoke of justice, they spoke of the light But they only brought darkness and endless fights [Pre-Chorus] They didn’t ask, they demanded and screamed They canceled and shamed until everyone dreamed The same approved thoughts in the same approved tone And if you disagreed, you were better off alone [Chorus] The age of the Karen… カレンの時代 They came for the culture and they wouldn’t let go カレンの時代 They broke what was sacred and called it progress, you know They didn’t build, they only destroyed They didn’t create, they only annoyed カレンの時代 And they called it compassion while the world burned [Verse 2] They turned neighbors to enemies, friends into foes They policed every word and they policed every joke They said it was love, they said it was care But it felt like a noose and they tightened it there [Pre-Chorus] They didn’t want debate, they didn’t want truth They only wanted power and eternal youth And if you dared to question, if you dared to resist They’d come for your job, they’d come for your kids [Chorus] The age of the Karen… カレンの時代 They came for the culture and they wouldn’t let go カレンの時代 They broke what was sacred and called it progress, you know They didn’t build, they only destroyed They didn’t create, they only annoyed カレンの時代 And they called it compassion while the world burned [Bridge] They thought they were righteous, they thought they were pure But they were just another flavor of the same old cure That never cured anything, just made it worse And left the world emptier, broken, and cursed [Final Chorus] The age of the Karen… カレンの時代 Their time is ending, their spell’s wearing thin カレンの時代 The people are waking and they’re sick of the spin I load the silver, I speak the rite Some monsters learned to smile in the light カレンの時代 And I came here to end you tonight [Outro] カレンの時代… It’s almost over now The Karen is dying And something new is being born
