THE WORLD YOU BUILT versuri

Versuri Moon Walker – THE WORLD YOU BUILT lyrics

[Verse 1]
He was a decent man with a wife and kids
That’s all they can say
I wonder why that is
And now they celebrate a life he didn’t live
Because the one he really did won’t fit their narrative
Crocodile tears when it’s one of you
But only thoughts and prayers for the kids in school
And now the president calls for a civil war
Before he even knows who or what he’s fighting for

[Chorus]
You’re just another victim of the world you built
Of people you’ve infеcted with the hate you spit
Anothеr new statistic as the blood gets spilled
You don’t care if it happens, you just didn’t think it’d happen to you
Just another victim of the world you built
Of people you’ve infected with the hate you spit
Another new statistic as the blood gets spilled
You don’t care if it happens, you just didn’t think it’d happen to you

[Verse 2]
Turn out the firing squad if it’s one of them
Nail him to the cross by his feet and hands
But if he’s one of us, we’re gonna pray for him
‘Cause he could still get into Heaven if he’s just a troubled kid

[Chorus]
Who’s just another victim of the world you built
Of people you’ve infected with the hate you spit
Another new statistic as the blood gets spilled
You don’t care if it happens, you just didn’t think it’d happen to you
Just another victim of the world you built
Of people you’ve infected with the hate you spit
Another new statistic as the blood gets spilled
You don’t care if it happens, you just didn’t think it’d happen to you

[Verse 3]
Speak violence with a microphone
Spread panic and division ‘til the dead dog croaks again
Blame your problems on the same scapegoats
And laugh as all the people who applaud you come for them
They say they love you, but they really love a martyr
And they only want a dead one

[Verse 4]
Monetized hysteria is never victimless
Even if you thought your culture war was only views and clicks
‘Cause bullets don’t discriminate between those you love and those you hate
Sometimes the violence you create comes back to stare you in the face

[Bridge]
He’s not the first to pay the price
In his own words, a sacrifice

[Verse 5]
Weaponized intolerance towards everyone you’ve targeted
Despite your own incompetence, it’s still the thing that started this
Ain’t it strange which lives they take, which ones they choose to celebrate?
Which ones will be televised, and which ones will they try to hide?

[Bridge]
Which will they mourn? Which will they rewrite?
Which ones will they ignore or tokenize?
Which ones will they distort, and then discard?
Which ones deserve a change of heart?
The violence was always there
This is just the first time you care

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re just another victim of the world you built
You’re just another victim of the world you built
You’re just another victim of the world you built
You’re just another victim of the world you built

[Chorus]
You’re just another victim of the world you built
Of people you’ve infected with the hate you spit
Another new statistic as the blood gets spilled
You don’t care if it happens, you just didn’t think it’d happen to you

[Outro]
They want you to laugh when your enemy dies
They want you afraid, disillusioned, sick and radicalized
When they come for you, they want you tired and weak
If they can keep you divided
Then they can keep you deceived
Everybody knows the only good one is a dead one
