Pan Fryer Foiled their Folly with one Fire

[INTRO] Low coal fire's special crackle, night air thin Pan Fryer step step steps, light's spell begin No suit on, no slide, no corporate greased spin Just where man's been… and what it’s been [VERSE 1] They sold “efficiency” like it was new Stamped it with belts, black, green, morose blue But every weathered old hand already knew Stats on a line ain’t saving your crew Halve the crew, squeeze the floor Call it “lean,” but it’s just less providing more Metrics clean while the people sheen sore Truth gets muddied in quarterly buried score [PRE-CHORUS] Yeah the charts go up, but the spirit drops Whole damn system built on swaps god damn the dow that rises While the people fall [CHORUS] Boom Boomer Boom — hear the hollow room Dumb Dumb Dumb — played profit tune Winners now on the run, leaving the rest maroon too soon Build a raft for all or we all meet doom try to make all the room Carry the lost, give them reasons to assume you care enough never to leave them marooned Boom Boom Boom — don’t you feel the earth shake Dumb Dumb Dumb — yeah the system’s modeled fake Square your heart upon the path you choose to take No more games from strong who break, forge the future focus your faith fill in the gaps to make it real [VERSE 2] All my life they shipped it out where the labor’s cheap Cut that cost while community wounds run deep Knowledge lost that it takes work to keep Now the whole damn chain can barely breathe Global map from hollow core Craft got stripped to number score Short-term win, long-term war Now nobody knows what they’re building for [PRE-CHORUS] Margins high, but the roots are gone You don’t see it till it all goes wrong unless you know and love the game your present state is your true name [CHORUS] Boom Boomer Boom — hear the hollow room Dumb Dumb Dumb — played profit tune Winners now on the run, leaving the rest maroon too soon Build a raft for all or we all meet doom try to make all the room Carry the lost, give them reasons to assume you care enough never to leave them marooned Boom Boom Boom — don’t you feel the earth shake Dumb Dumb Dumb — yeah the system’s modeled fake Square your heart upon the path you choose to take No more games from strong who break, forge the future focus your faith fill in the gaps to make it real [VERSE 3] “Move fast, break” was boomers battle cry No one else asked what was left to die Plans got tossed with entire fortunes, just improvise Burnout hidden behind “we tried” Agile talk but no real frame best practices never brought to help No one left to hold the aim Blame gets passed in shifting game tight teams always knew — it’s not the same [BRIDGE] Data mined by system every breath you take if you don't advance, they turn your life to a graph they make Smile wide for soul brand’s own sake Truth gets trashed in the cartoons they produce Paint it righteous with moral tone Words get used but their core’s unknown Some were real, but most just clone Signal loud, the roots ain’t grown [BREAKDOWN] Listen close — this is not new Power games dressed in something secret Sabotage? Yeah, that’s the glue System built to feed on you Elite few in the backroom knew How to bend and where to go Some say “kids” like feeling makes it slow But Pan won’t plant life in poisoned soil [CHORUS] Boom Boomer Boom — hear the hollow room Dumb Dumb Dumb — played profit tune Winners now on the run, leaving the rest maroon too soon Build a raft for all or we all meet doom try to make all the room Carry the lost, give them reasons to assume you care enough never to leave them marooned Boom Boom Boom — don’t you feel the earth shake Dumb Dumb Dumb — yeah the system’s modeled fake Square your heart upon the path you choose to take No more games from strong who break, forge the future focus your faith fill in the gaps to make it real [OUTRO] Pan Fryer speaks, no hate, no plea Just build it right so we all stay free No more wins that divide the sea One Piece raft… or no one leaves This one beat to create a lighthouse guiding any in the dark to a stable point A heart that's free and stood on pinnacle loving life, meeting folk, sometimes inspiring A life bent far towards flooding cave with principle.
