[Intro – spoken, half-time]
Winter 2020…
Yeah…
Two weeks, right?
[Verse 1]
Winter 2020 — that’s when the silence hit,
Two-week lockdown, temporary, legit.
“Together we’re stronger,” that’s what they sold,
Didn’t see the blueprint — how society would fold.
Grandma became contraband,
Sunlight turned criminal, nature banned.
Breathing without permission was anti-science,
Masks, gloves, eating meals through plastic compliance.
Screens preached fear like religion,
Tech giants merging with media vision.
Celebrities cried from million-dollar homes,
While truth got buried under sponsored tones.
[Hook / Chorus – melodic or chant-style]
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Two weeks turned months, still applying,
World locked down — but nobody dying.
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Tell me what’s real when the rules keep changing,
Two weeks later — still surviving.
[Verse 2]
Flat on my bed, here I sit,
No job, no gym, no walks to keep me fit.
Zombie-like, robotic, feeling like shit,
Am I a racist? What did I just get hit with?
Apparently I don’t care about Black lives,
Lost in confusion, election arrives.
“Stay at home,” they advise,
Mail-in ballots — the only way to survive.
Power changes, bailouts come,
Someone got rich — I got none.
Inflation hits; what little I had
Is now almost null — gone, done.
[Hook / Chorus]
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Two weeks turned months, still applying,
Truth on mute, fear multiplying.
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Hands up, stay quiet, keep complying,
Two weeks later — still surviving.
[Verse 3 – darker, stripped beat]
Someone got rich off our fear,
I got inflation and less each year.
Rent up, food up, hope declines,
Savings erased by invisible lines.
Wars still rage, kids still die,
But don’t cross narratives — don’t ask why.
Wars, death, terror don’t cross the line,
Weed’s legal now, so it’s fine.
My mind’s in decline,
Suddenly it’s Free Palestine.
Most sick society to ever exist,
Now it’s my job to free them so they resist.
[Bridge – spoken word, no drums]
From peacefully to coexist…
Just don’t resist.
Right and wrong? Opinion now,
Facts need feelings to be allowed.
Logic outdated, tradition denied,
Emotion decides what gets verified.
The Constitution? Political text,
Context removed, intentions hexed.
[Final Hook – big, echoing]
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Two weeks turned years, still complying,
Same screen, same fear, still buying.
Famous people crying,
Everybody lying,
Tell me what’s real when truth’s declining,
Two weeks later — still surviving.
[Outro – pause, then last line]
Wait…
It’s 2026.
