Allergic Reaction

Got an allergic reaction
Got an allergic reaction to you
Got an allergic reaction
To your backward views, everything you do
You try so hard to create a division
The kind that only benefits you
Got an allergic reaction
Got to resist the urge to sink as low as you

Declaring civil war, is it a metaphor?
Not really if the violence serves you
A general at play until you get your way
Maybe longer if the power consumes you

You don't even know our names
We're just loudmouths giving your game away
Reposition truth as betrayal
You couldn't ever bear to shoulder the blame

Got an allergic reaction
Got an allergic reaction to you
Got an allergic reaction
To your backward views, everything you do
You try so hard to create a division
The kind that only benefits you
Got an allergic reaction
Got to resist the urge to sink as low as you

Rewrite the rulebook to suit you
Call it necessary disruption
Nothing we can do to reboot you
Consumed by the need for consumption

What are you waiting for? Why don't you take some more?
Double down on the lies you cling to
The fools that brought you here 'cause you gave them the fear
They're ready now to do whatever you want them to

You'll never know any shame
You wouldn't jeopardise the glory, riches and fame
History taught us nothing at all
'Cause here we go again

Got an allergic reaction
Got an allergic reaction to you
Got an allergic reaction
To your backward views, everything you do
You try so hard to create a division
The kind that only benefits you
Got an allergic reaction
Got to resist the urge to sink as low as you

So what is there that we can do?
Faced with somebody like you
So protected, so immune
With your crooked daddy's silver spoon

Got an allergic reaction
And your enablers are rubbing their hands, they're nearly done with you
