Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro — quiet, close] (soft) I used to think it was just them… ⸻ Now I’m starting to think… it’s everything… ⸻ [Verse 1 — personal + observational] Mum on the phone saying “we’ll make it work” ⸻ Voice sounds calm but I know it hurts… ⸻ Gas went up, now the lights stay off… ⸻ Kettle on once, then we leave it off… ⸻ They say “budget better”, like we ain’t tried… ⸻ Like we ain’t been cutting things just to get by… ⸻ But they don’t see that side of the street… ⸻ They just talk while we try to eat… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — tension] (soft) You can feel it… in every home… ⸻ But no one says it… we just get on… ⸻ [Hook — vibey, haunting] (smooth) It’s a polite society… Keep your head down, don’t question things… ⸻ Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be… Even when it’s breaking me… ⸻ Polite society… play your role, don’t cause a scene… ⸻ Close your eyes… and just believe… ⸻ [Verse 2 — sharper, targeted (without names)] Suit and tie, talking numbers again… ⸻ Laughing like it’s not affecting them… ⸻ Talking cuts from a polished room… ⸻ While people choosing what they can’t consume… ⸻ Saying “growth” like we’re meant to clap… ⸻ But it don’t reach where we’re living at… ⸻ They debate like it’s just a game… ⸻ Then step outside and forget our names… ⸻ [Switch — quicker, biting] Say it’s stable, say it’s fine Say it’s working, give it time ⸻ Same old script, different face Same old lines that we embrace ⸻ We adapt ‘cause we have to live Take what’s left, not what they give ⸻ Truth feels risky, silence safe So we carry on, day to day ⸻ [Bridge — stripped, personal] (quiet) I’m not angry… I’m just tired… ⸻ Tired of hearing… what don’t align… ⸻ Tired of feeling… like this is it… ⸻ And we’re just meant… to live with it… ⸻ [Final Hook — heavier] (slightly darker) It’s a polite society… Where nothing’s ever what it seems… ⸻ Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be… Even when it’s killing me… ⸻ Polite society… we’re all part of the machine… ⸻ Close your eyes… and just believe… ⸻ [Outro — quiet, cutting] (soft) They’ll say it’s better… ⸻ You’ll feel it isn’t… ⸻ And somehow… that’s normal now…
