Lyrics

If you still don't get why you're alive
You won't get it until you die
Periodical gut punch
Is your steady reward
If you don't get why it's all on fire
Ask questions until you're burned alive
Periodical gut punch
Take another one in the jaw
Oh, it won't stop, it gets worse with time
You're alright, you're still moving
If you went along a different path
You're alright, you're still moving
If you still have means for self-reflection
You're alright, you're still moving
If you're biased towards considered action
You're alright, a cog in the machine
If we work hard
Show up
With enough time and enough thought
We still won't make a difference
Collectively
If we work tirelessly
Suck it up
With enough funds and enough talent
We still remain unfocussed
And fully miss the point
If we keep reading the same texts
No meaning, no impact
We still won't make a difference
Continue our decline
If we're being drawn to the same jobs
False incentives, poor outcomes
We still won't make a difference
We set the wrong goals
If we just like posts and sing songs
No actions, no results
We won't ever make a difference
We'll collectively decline
