Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is new Bodega song
[Verse 2]
It's new world now, don't discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave
It's new world now, don't discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave
[Verse 3]
How did this happen?!
How did this happen?!
[Verse 4]
I see you walk past the demonstration
Two chips on your shoulder
You're a culture connoisseur and your pain is real
Two chips on your shoulder
[Verse 5]
Stuck wadin' through a crowd of radical daughters
Barricades armed by empty strollers
Basic slogans to combat controllers
See 'em dance from afar, to guitar on your shoulder
[Verse 6]
As you smugly walk past, think
These people should be here regardless of outcome
As you smugly walk past, think
Hey, there's a half-off sale at the Barnes & Noble
[Verse 7]
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
[Verse 8]
You're cueing deep cuts as you glide escalator
Two chips on your shoulder
Face pressed to glass looking down at the mass march
Two cans on your shoulder
[Verse 9]
Your playlist knows you better than a closest lover
Your playlist always desert island disk
Your playlist will curate your songs of the oppressed
Look at the marquee in ten-eighty-P
[Verse 10]
As you smugly walk past, think
These people should be here regardless of outcome
As you smugly walk past, think
You've got an island of blue, you've got a nipple in water
[Verse 11]
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
[Verse 12]
It's new world now, don't discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave
It's new world now, don't discriminate
Everyone is equally a master and a slave
[Verse 13]
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
[Verse 14]
This machine you know it don't kill fascists
This machine just softens what's hard
This machine it killed the dream of the 60s
This machine you know it's just a guitar
[Verse 15]
As you smugly walk past
You ask yourself, how did this happen?!
