Treble Down

提示词

I don't stand with the left or the right, I just stand my ground Both sides screamin' in stereo — I turn the treble down No jersey, no home team, but I still show up to play 'Cause the middle ain't the fence when both the fences are ablaze I get my politics secondhand from friends who sample the tails Engagement-fed extremes, where the nuance never sells They hand me two distortions and they tell me "pick a lens" I said the truth's not in the middle, it's just missing from both ends I'm too skeptical for boosters, too grounded for the doom Too pro-tech for the creatives — I'm the minority in every room That's an expensive seat, no comfort of a crowd But I'd rather think alone than borrow anger off the loud You say we all want the same things? That's half a truth at best We agree on rent and healthcare, then the values split the rest Some fights ain't manufactured, some divides are genuine Callin' real disagreement a "misunderstanding" is the sin I don't stand with the left or the right, I just stand my ground Both sides screamin' in stereo — I turn the treble down No jersey, no home team, but I still show up to play 'Cause the middle ain't the fence when both the fences are ablaze Yo — they're buying time on layaway and billing it to us Deferral dressed as discipline, the pension's under the bus The interest passed defense but nobody's interested We're financing the future with the future — get it? Sinister Bills die in committee while the bills stack up at home Congress is the opposite of progress — check the Greek and Rome And nah, we ain't Rome fallin', but we roam around complacent Historically we rally — I got faith in the people, not the payment Here's my platform, no party, just the math You cross the debt-to-GDP? No re-election — clear the path Tie the paycheck to the state check, make the states compete for growth 'Cause concentrated interests eat diffuse ones — that's the quote And miss me with the slogans — "tax the billionaires," "the class war" I skipped that class, 'cause which axis are we askin' for? Capitalism versus communism? That Cold War ghost is dead Same deferral bug in Beijing — it's the mechanism, not the red Kings don't rule over people People don't rule over people People watch out for people Government should help — not steeple They tried to cast us in a system, said the birthright makes the man But your worth is what you do — that was always in the plan Somebody slipped a chapter in to crown themselves divine An insult to the heritage — so I tear it out, line by line No home team... but I still show up to play No home team... I'd rather see it clear than see it my way Turn the treble down... let the middle hold its ground 'Cause the loudest in the room is rarely right — just loud
