[Verse 1] Every disagreement now gets dressed up as a history class Don't agree with the left, get branded fascist in a flash But fascism's got a body count, six million in the ground You don't get to borrow that to win an argument right now Right side does the same thing, every socialist's a threat Like every welfare check is secretly the next Soviet Both sides reaching backward grabbing for the darkest name Instead of just disagreeing like adults and playing fair the same We used to just be people, that's the part that gets me most Before the labels got so loud they drowned out every other ghost [Hook] Words used to carry weight before we wore the edges thin Now everybody's Hitler, everybody's somebody's sin We traded conversation for the loudest thing we own And the silence where the truth lived is the only thing that's grown [Verse 2] Woman sets a boundary, suddenly she's radicalized Man just disagrees and now he's everybody's enemy in disguise Every side's got names locked, loaded, ready for the draw Nobody's exchanging thoughts no more, just keeping score Turn on any channel, doesn't matter which you choose NBC or Fox, they selling anger like it's news Outrage pays better than the truth could ever pay the bill So they keep us at each other's throats and profit off the kill That's the business model underneath the whole charade Peace don't get the ratings that the panic and the rage parade [Verse 3] Underneath it all there's a darkness people skirt around Names on islands, sealed up files, nobody making a sound Real corruption operates the best in all this noise While we screaming labels at each other like we're little boys That's the oldest trick there is, the loudest distraction wins While the actual danger's sitting quiet, counting up its sins Keep us yelling Nazi, keep us yelling socialist too While the ones who earned the label walk away with nothing left to lose Funny how the truth gets buried underneath the screaming match Funny how the silence is exactly what they needed as a catch [Outro] We used to just be people... Before the words got hollowed out and worn... Real darkness hides best... When everybody's too busy screaming to look... That's not an accident... That's the design... ...And we keep falling for it.
