Lyrics The Populist - Timi Tamminen

It's a new kind of war
A spiritual war

Would you believe me if I told you you're being poisoned?
You're being poisoned with stress
You're being poisoned with misinformation
You're being poisoned with stupidity
And most of all, you're being poisoned with strong doubt that shackles you
And limits you from reaching your full potential

There they are again
Shots of paramilitary raids
The micro-trauma fix you crave could be just a click or thirty-three away, yeah
Bubble-wrapped in malice
We're all addicts
Got a bad fetish for the bad news
Expect the worst
Look for the truth
We're in the same boat
It might sink soon

You're being poisoned
You're being poisoned with paranoia
You're being poisoned with hatred
You're being poisoned with delusion
You're being poisoned with all sorts of pollution
Air pollution
Mind pollution
Spirit pollution

I'm a master of my craft
Here to take my power back
A new kind of glitch in the algorithm
You'll see who I am
Walking in lockstep with revolutionary thought
In a world where everything is bought
Lasting impact before the credits roll
My goal

Shhh...

We're all just a wall of noise and emotion forming a virtual waterfall of chaos
Thinking we're in control when we're all just massive herds
Clashing against one another, and it's all by design
We're trying to fight a delusional war against the masters of strategy
Using only a broken shovel and a map full of stains, and it's all by design
We're being kept in a perpetual state of paranoia so that we can't think clear
And it's all by design
We're all just side bitches waiting by the corner to get fucked in the ass
By the ones with power, and it's all by design
We're all just spectators in this show called America, and it's all by design
We're all America
Enjoy the show
It's about to get wild because this is just the opening act

My friends, the time has come to rise up!
You have been let down too many times
You have been exploited, humiliated and abused for too long
You have been ruthlessly cast aside by those with the power to do so
But my friends, I promise you, everything will change soon
You will rise up
We will rise up
And all you have to do is put your trust in me
I hear your words
I see your struggle
And I promise you, your time will come
Our collective voice will never be silenced again
