Текст песни Unclear Warfare - James Paddock

A sea of constant consternation
Now's the time to pick your fights and facts right
A tide of tepid trepidation
Looks like society has reached a turning point

For every thinkpiece
And nebulous policy
You can't see the wood for the trees
And are your controversies
Swimming in honesty?
Or are we drowning in a salt-filled sea?

It's so hard not to get swept away
Amidst all the outrage
Testing the mettle of my pedals
But I'm stuck in a hydroplane
Careening towards disaster
Yeah I'm only slipping faster
The undertow is flowing over
And I'm driving with the insane!

Build your bridge across this ocean
Prop it up with "thoughts and prayers", and well-wishes
Farm your clicks and blind devotion
Before you move on to the next big "issues"

An unending challenge
To strike any balance
Ain't no "both sides" to this bullshit!
An overreaction
Feeds you the traction
We've gotta find the goddamn plug and pull it!

It's so hard not to get swept away
Amidst all the outrage
Testing the mettle of my pedals
But I'm stuck in a hydroplane
(I'm tiring, need rewiring –
Cannot see through the acid rain)
Careening towards disaster
Yeah, I'm only slipping faster
The undertow is flowing over
And I'm driving with the insane
(Don't leave me driving with the insane!)

And all your issues of importance?
Cloaks and daggers – "protecting the innocent"
Who really gains from this performance?
Smoke and mirrors – deceptive and abhorrent

When the truth is incorporeal
And we're reduced to scream and shout
It's time for a Viking funeral
For the benefit of the doubt

The climate's tempestuous
The discourse incestuous
Just can't get a word in edgeways
We're losing perceptiveness
And wander directionless
Gotta get out of this hedge maze!

It's so hard not to get swept away
Amidst all the outrage
Testing the mettle of my pedals
But I'm stuck in a hydroplane
(I'm tiring, need rewiring –
Cannot see through the acid rain)
Careening towards disaster
Yeah, I'm only slipping faster
The undertow is flowing over
And I'm driving with the insane
Don't leave me driving with the insane!
Yeah
