Go Woke Go Broke

[Verse 1] Boardroom buzzwords Slideshow spin New flag New slogan Same old grin Flip the script Repaint the brand But you never learned who buys your games Did you Man? Tiny text on a loading screen Preach at me through a cutscene dream Glitchy launch Half-finished code Credits roll Then you hit that road [Chorus] Go woke Go broke That’s the headline joke You chased applause Now you’re breathing smoke Servers shut down All the fans you poked Go woke Go broke Go broke [Verse 2] Comments locked when the crowd got loud You called ‘em vile You called ‘em proud Said “good riddance ” said “we’ll ascend” Now the studio sale’s listed as “the end” Pink slip stack by the busted rigs Execs cash out in their tailored digs On the blog One brave think-piece sighs While the last dev packs up and quietly cries [Chorus] Go woke Go broke That’s the headline joke You chased applause Now you’re breathing smoke Servers shut down All the fans you poked Go woke Go broke Go broke [Bridge] Woke this Broke that You chant it like a spell But it’s bad faith math And it’s easy to sell It’s greed plus spin A scapegoat show Blame “those people” so you don’t look below At the crunch At the crunch At the lies you spoke While you laugh at the folks that your bosses broke [Chorus] Go woke Go broke That’s the easy quote While the ones upstairs sail a golden boat Down here we’re tired of the same old hoax Go woke Go broke? Nah Fire the suits That’s the joke
