[Intro | dry, irritated female spoken vocal | guitar amp buzz, drumstick count-in] Oh, come on. Is it that time again? [Verse 1 | biting talk-sung delivery | thick distorted guitar riff and frantic live drums | short, impatient phrasing] Another speech, another plan Another mess dropped in my hands Smile for the picture, nod for the cause Clean up the shit, then applaud, applaud! Want an answer? You already chose. Want agreement? Everybody knows. Moved the goalposts. Moved 'em twice. Now you're selling me the finish line At twice the price! [Chorus | explosive chest-led shout-singing | jagged guitars and hard snare accents | rough gang responses] IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Another choice already made! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Another game we never played! Move it! Fake it! Dress it up and call it change! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? NOT TODAY! [Verse 2 | sarcastic, angular delivery | bass drives against stabbing guitar chords | clipped phrases, sudden vocal barks] Oh, look! A brand-new rule! Same old bastard, different tool. Ribbon on the wreckage, Call it something new. Congratulations! It still looks like you. A little more patience. A little more grace. Another little favor With a straight fucking face. You move the furniture While I'm still in the chair. Then ask why I'm angry Like you weren't even there! [Chorus | louder and more abrasive | rough vocal doubles | driving full-band attack] IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Another choice already made! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Another game we never played! Move it! Fake it! Dress it up and call it change! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? NOT TODAY! [Break | guitar and bass locked into repetitive riff | chaotic drum fills | spoken vocal escalating] Wait. Let me get this straight. You make the rules. You break the rules. I get the blame?! [Final Chorus | raw shouted melody | thick distortion, crashing cymbals, aggressive gang responses] IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Another choice already made! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? (AGAIN!) Take your game and throw it away! Move the posts! Move the line! Move the whole damn thing this time! IS IT THAT TIME AGAIN? NOT! THIS! TIME! [Outro | sharp instrumental stop | breathless, dry contempt] There. Was that clear enough? [End]
