about

In certain dank corners of the left you will find that it's much more important that you use the right vocabulary than that you actually give a shit.

lyrics

Woke

If you want to change the world, that's good
If you give a shit, you should
You can organize, but you better be sure
All your motives are moral and your words are pure

Say the wrong thing and the PC police
Will hound you from Oregon to Greece
They'll picket at your concerts, harass everyone you meet
Who's driving in your neighborhood or sharing your tweets

We're so woke, this ain't no joke, before the day is through
Step out of line, that's the sign – we'll cancel you

Whatever it is you're doing, cancel culture doesn't care
Because it's not about where you're going, but what you say before you get there
Make sure to get your pronouns right, don't fuck up any verb
Otherwise you might just end up lying on the curb

Chorus

If you have the wrong opinion on the matters of the week
We'll make sure to attack you every time you speak
It's our favorite form of activism, you can do it all alone
You can feel so righteous just sitting with your phone

Chorus
