+ Show full styles

[Intro - Chorus - Gospel of Good Optics] Say it kindly, say it sweet Step on throats with gentle feet Clap for those who play along Cancel those who don’t belong We call that justice in a tweet (justice in a tweet...) [Verse 1 – The Smile That Cuts] He said it soft, but made it sting A compliment with clipped-off wings They call it charm, but I felt the shove That’s how we weaponize our love [Pre - Terms & Conditions] Say nothing loud, and say it well Or find yourself in someone’s helllllll... [Verse 2 – Moral Megaphone] They post their grief, then sell a shirt Say “thoughts and prayers,” then dish the dirt A hashtag halo on their feed None of that is what we need [Chorus - Gospel of Good Optics] Say it kindly, say it sweet Step on throats with gentle feet Clap for those who play along Cancel those who don’t belong We call that justice in a tweet [Verse 3 – The Lie of Virtue] Don’t raise your voice, that’s how you lose Just sharpen silence, let it bruise The world loves masks and tidy lines Not the hot mess of human minds [Pre - Terms & Conditions] Say nothing loud, and say it well Or find yourself in someone’s helllllll... [Verse 4 – Polite Corruption] A bowed head hides a loaded gun The sermon ends the harm’s begun We shake hands after every fight As if the tone could make it right (Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh...) [Chorus - Gospel of Good Optics] Say it kindly, say it sweet Step on throats with gentle feet Clap for those who play along Cancel those who don’t belong We call that justice in a tweet [Outro - Comply or Pay the Consequence] Pleeeeeease Remember.... Say nothing loud, and say it well Or find yourself in someone’s hell in someone’s helllll....
