Look around you
In any direction
Hear the screams
Of insurrection?
And even upon
Closer inspection
The anger that’s there
Avoids detection

And I suppose
That it bears a mention
Because they generally
Aren’t paying attention
To addressing our needs
Which causes dissension
See they never tried to use
An ounce of prevention

So they continue with
Their arrogance
And below the surface
You get the sense
That things have gotten
More intense
But they’re ignoring
The evidence

So the pressure cooker
Has already blown
And everybody but them
Seems to have known
Just how deep
The rabbit hole can go
Before we’re faced with
A complete overthrow
