Trigger Warning - Static Youth

V5

[Intro] ONE, TWO, THREE, FUCK YOUR RULES! [Verse 1] You’re walking on eggshells, you’re watching your breath You’re scared of a shadow, you’re bored half to death You’ve got a list of the words I can’t say Well, line 'em up, baby, I’ll scream 'em all day! You’re searching for "justice" in a comment thread While the rest of the world is just getting ahead. [Verse 2] It’s a "micro-offense," it’s a "safety concern" It’s a bridge to the past that you’re dying to burn You want to cancel the heat, you want to cancel the light You want to sleep in a world that’s beige and polite Well, I’m the neon stain on your pristine floor I’m the kick in the teeth you’ve been looking for! [Chorus] Go on and cry, go on and moan Your "offense" is a kingdom and you’re on the throne But I’m not your subject, I’m not your slave I’m the ghost of the freedom you put in the grave! Yeah, trigger this and cancel that I’m swinging the truth like a baseball bat! [Verse 3] You’re offended by sex, you’re offended by grit You’re offended by someone who doesn't just quit You want a world where nobody loses or wins Where everyone’s paying for "historical sins" Well, I’m living right now, and I’m living it loud While you’re hiding your face in a digital crowd! [Chorus] Go on and cry, go on and moan Your "offense" is a kingdom and you’re on the throne But I’m not your subject, I’m not your slave I’m the ghost of the freedom you put in the grave! Yeah, trigger this and cancel that I’m swinging the truth like a baseball bat! [Bridge] Oh... did that hurt? Did I bruise your little ego? Do you need a hug and a place to go? Are you feeling "unsafe" 'cause I don't agree? Well, sugar... that sounds like a YOU problem to me. GET A FUCKING GRIP! [Guitar Solo] [Fast, chaotic, high-pitched shredding—lots of pick-slides and dive bombs] [Chorus] Go on and cry, go on and moan Your "offense" is a kingdom and you’re on the throne But I’m not your subject, I’m not your slave I’m the ghost of the freedom you put in the grave! Yeah, trigger this and cancel that I’m swinging the truth like a baseball bat! [Outro] What are you gonna do? Block me? I’m already in your head. Static Youth... we don't apologize.
