Lyrics Nothing But Thieves

Nothing But Thieves

Can You Afford to Be An Individual?

I couldn't be anything that I didn't wanna be

It's stubborn as hell or a problem with authority

'Cause it won't mirror your image of masculinity

Oh did I disappoint ya?

Sorry to disappoint ya

What will you do when the vultures come for you?

Will you run and hide?

And now we're breeding a feeling of animosity

Our thoughts are tribal, go viral and now it's deafening

Oh how we're loving the comfort of pack mentality

The internet has teeth and

It eats and eats and eats ya

So are you scared of your introspection?

Why could that be?

Oh, maybe you object to what you find there

And as you stare into your own reflection

What do you see?

Your black hole for a soul

And as your stare into your reflection what do you see?

Your black hole for a soul

So how's it being a prisoner of your own illusion?

Up on a pedestal reveling in your own confusion

I see you hide behind your alter or your constitution

But you can't live forever

In your own echo chamber

And you're so scared of the people up in your fairyland

But how can you hate something you don't even understand?

Oh, you're a walking contradiction in a MAGA hat

It's where I wanna be

God bless the land of the free

So who are you to tell us where we do and don't belong?

And who are you to tell us who to love and who to not?

Because your mother told ya you would win when you were young

Oh it's a boys wonderland, we know it now

But now the liberals aren't liberal, they're just as venomous

And you can't have an opinion unless you're one of us

No second chances, you're branded, your kind are dangerous

We're bringing each other down

We're tearing each other down

So have I gotta kill myself to be original?

And if I fucking hate you all am I a criminal?

Can you afford to be an individual?

Can you afford to be an individual?
