Nightmare
Bare Teeth feat. mr. Silla (Múm) Lyrics

Welcome to the land of the free
The country where everyone is supposed to be free

Everybody's here, but nobody's welcome
People are living here without being welcomed by others

Liberty and justice for all comes with terms and conditions
The freedom and justice everyone gets has limitations and conditions attached

Not everyone is eligible
People don't get equal opportunities and access to these liberties and justice

It happened slowly, the world went insane
Gradually, the world lost its sanity

Sugar and violence rotting its brain
The presence of both good and bad things in the world leading to its deterioration

Now the cancer has spread and we convicted the poor
The society is inflicted with a cancerous problem that leads to the poor being blamed for all the bad things

Morality died at the executive's door
The leaders of the society are responsible for the decline of ethical behavior in the society

With all of these corpses, lined up and tagged
There are many dead bodies that are being prepared for disposal

Off to the ice trucks, bodies bagged
The dead bodies are being taken to refrigerated trucks to be disposed of

While information loyalty divides us into camps
The media's bias towards a particular group divides the people into groups

Wall street royalty suits da sycophants
The rich and powerful people in the society control the people who are blindly devoted to them

Paranoia and fear are the media's food
The media thrives on spreading paranoia and fear amongst people

Consumed by the people and controlling the mood
People are constantly under the control of these negative emotions

Making logic lame and critical thinking weak
The media's control leads to a decline in people's ability to think logically and critically

The only thing the people understand is doublespeak
People find it hard to differentiate between what is true and what is false due to the usage of deceptive language

That's just collateral damage-it's all necessary
The leaders see the harm caused to people as an inevitable consequence

Listing out names in that obituary
Names of people who have died are being recorded

So come on in, and blow off steam
People are being invited to vent out their frustration and anger

Violence is part of the American Dream
Violence has become an inherent part of the American way of life

Wake up from the glitter and the Hollywood glare
People need to wake up and see the reality beyond the glamor of Hollywood

See the truth, end the nightmare
People need to see the real problems in society and work towards ending them

Fight the system, end the silence
The people need to take action against the corrupt system and raise their voice against injustice

Wake up from the memes on your social feed
People should not let social media dictate their beliefs and opinions

Reject control, end the greed
People should not let those in power control them and should work towards ending greed and corruption

Wake up from the dreams and on which we choke
People should wake up from their illusions and strive for a better, more realistic future

Hear the people, we have spoke
People's voices need to be heard and their demands should be addressed

The system is broke-corrupted from the top
The system is flawed as the corruption starts from the most powerful people

We're all just a name on the block to chop
People are just reduced to being a number and dispensable resource

Cause happiness, liberty, the pursuit of life
The very things that are supposed to bring us joy and success are the reason for our downfall

Anguish our rulers and give them strife
The rulers feel threatened and disturbed by people's misery and grievances

So your rights are ignored, in favor of the state
The state disregards the rights of the people to maintain its own power and authority

Perpetuating death and perpetuating hate
The state is responsible for spreading hatred and promoting violence

And when the people get woke with a deafening silence
People start awakening to the harsh reality but the oppressive forces try to silence them

The state responds with tear gas and violence
The government tries to suppress people's voices using brute force

Innocence is relative if you're the kings guard
People who are loyal to those in power can get away with their crimes and misdeeds

It's good to have example bodies strewn across the yard
The government uses brutal force on some people to set an example for others to comply with their orders

And if you step outta line, get freedom in ya head
Anyone opposing the government's authority is targeted by them and is often punished severely

They'll toss ya to the devil's court or skip straight to dead
People who cross the government's line are either punished severely by the law or killed in a brutal way

No this delirious state is never what it seems
The state of society is very different from what people think it is

These broken promises are shattered dreams
People's expectations and hopes are often crushed by the government's false promises

The dream is a lie
The idea of the American Dream is a deception and a facade

Isn't this fun
This situation is not amusing and can be very dangerous

Ha ha ha ha
A sarcastic response to a situation that is not funny at all

Shh
A call for silence to avoid getting into trouble or to escape a dangerous situation

Violence
A call for using force to achieve things

Violence-Violence
Repeated calls for violence

Democracy is about building consensus
Democracy works on the principle of reaching a common agreement with equal participation

Not division and fortifying fences
Democracy doesn't work by dividing people and building walls between them

But tribes are turning against their brothers
People are growing increasingly hostile and divided towards their own community

Killing each other and cursing their mothers
People are resorting to violence and hateful actions, even towards their own family

And if we don't stop it before it's too late
If people don't take action immediately, things will get out of hand

We'll all drown each other in a sea of hate
Hatred will consume everyone and lead to destruction and chaos

So come on in, enjoy the show
People are being asked to relax, sit down and watch the situation unfold

We saved you a seat in the front row
People are being invited to take a front seat and witness the dangerous and chaotic situation
