Live Grenade

Everybody loaded… Nobody listenin’… (3… 2… 1…) [Verse 1] Whole world wired like a live grenade Truth get sold while the poor get played Politicians smile with a blood-red tie Point both sides at each other — “fight or die” Neighborhood cracked by a televised war Keyboard soldiers beatin’ on the digital door Every feed full rage, every headline bait Everybody foamin’ at a manufactured hate Young kid scrollin’ with a fist balled tight Thinkin’ violence somehow makes wrong turn right Talk radio prophets with apocalypse tongues Sell fear to the old and rage to the young Every damn channel got a villain to feed Keep the people distracted while they pocket the greed Left hook, right hook — same damn cage Just different logos on the front page [Pre-Chorus] Temperature risin’… Can you feel that heat? Nobody talks now— They just aim for the teeth… [Chorus] DIVIDE & DETONATE Light the fuse, watch tensions inflate Turn pain into a campaign phrase Keep the broken minds in a daze DIVIDE & DETONATE March the line, let fury vibrate Every screen scream “pick a side!” While the rich lean back and grin wide [Verse 2] Mob mentality dressed in patriotic paint Everybody preachin’ but nobody no saint Family split apart at the dinner table war Old friends disappear through a slammed front door One spark jump and the whole block burn Nobody slow down — nobody wanna learn Everybody armed with a pocket full pride One bad night and a hundred mamas cry Big tech puppets pull strings in the dark Feed outrage metrics every hour after dark Algorithm knows what keeps you enraged Keep you trapped scrollin’ in a digital cage Nobody wins when the streets ignite Smoke in the air and another candlelight Another politician give a “thoughts and prayers” speech While the whole damn country drift outta reach [Verse 3] Watchdogs sleep while the cash runs free Lobby-sign checks write policy News desk spin like a carousel wheel Dress up the lie till the fake feel real Billion-dollar megaphone flood the feed Turn honest doubt to a branded creed Fact-check buried in a sea of noise Clickbait crown for the cruelest voice History bend for the headline war Rewrite truth through a sponsored door Every new scandal is the same old play Keep eyes glued while the hands get paid We break, we burn, while they count each share Turn every lost life to a market scare [Bridge] “Remain calm… remain divided… remain afraid…” [Build] Hands up… Fists high… Sirens… Street lights… Pressure… Tick-tock… One push… KABOOM. [Final Chorus] DIVIDE & DETONATE Everybody overloaded with hate Turn brother against brother for views Then sell the footage on the evening news DIVIDE & DETONATE That machine don’t hesitate Keep the fire fed all night Till nobody remember who started the fight [Outro] Static… Smoke… Silence… And the anchors still smilin’.
