CULTURE WAR EXPANSION PACK

I'm not sleeping very well

Because I have a little box of light which contains the comprehensive knowledge of the known universe

And I use it to watch people fuck

I'm not eating very well

Because the men in the little box of light

Say that eggs are bad and carbs are good and then that carbs are bad but eggs are good

Cut oils, cut macros, take tren, chew tobacco

Eat fats, eat sugar, take vitamins, don't dither

I'm not socialising very well

I have 10-second injections of dopamine to cycle through for hours on end

As I lie in my bed, smelling of sin

Yes, I have TikToks to get back to

And places to be

Like a montage of countries in high summer which I'll never visit

I'm sorry for not keeping in touch

It's just that I have literally nothing to say

Nothing to say

But I saw Emily at the co-op, actually

She's leaving town

Her folks are unbearable and her friends are unambitious

And there's that small town bigotry kind of shit

Which seems to ride the air and spread poison

In through Wetherspoons doors and soon-to-close clothing stores

And onto new year's day dog walkers, ice cold on the closest shores

But it's only politics isn't it?

Well maybe it is

But English is my first language

And I can buy a pint of milk any time I like

And I see a celebrity who looks like me every time I turn on the TV

We watch the same shows on television

We read the same articles

We teach our kids the same lessons

While they learn in the same schools

We play the same instruments

Sing the same lyrics as the lights come on in a nightclub

We all dance formlessly to the most trustworthy pub standard, pint in hand

We even have a common enemy

And despite all of that

And the mountains we all dream of

We are apparently completely unalike
