Can You Afford to Be An Individual? (Explicit) - Nothing But Thieves

Lyrics by：Joseph Langridge-Brown/Conor Mason/Dominic Craik/Mike Crossey

Composed by：Joseph Langridge-Brown/Conor Mason/Dominic Craik/Mike Crossey

I couldn't be anything that I didn't wanna be

It's stubborn as hell

Or a problem with authority

'Cause it won't mirror your image of masculinity

Oh did I disappoint ya

Sorry to disappoint ya

What will you do when the vultures come for you

Will you run and hide

And now we're breeding a feeling of animosity

Our thoughts are tribal

Go viral and now it's deafening

Oh how we're loving in the comfort of pack mentality

The internet has teeth and it eats and eats and eats ya

So are you scared of your own introspection

Why could that be

Oh maybe you object to what you find there

And as you're staring into your own reflection

What do you see

Your black hole for a soul

And as you're staring into your own reflection

What do you see

Your black hole for a soul

So how's it being a prisoner of your own illusion

Up on a pedestal reveling in your own confusion

I see you hide behind your

Altar or your constitution

But you can't live forever

In your own echo chamber

And you're so scared of the

People up in your fairyland

But how can you hate something

You don't even understand

Oh you're a walking contradiction in a maga-hat

It's where I wanna be

God bless the land of the free

So who are you to tell us

Where we do and don't belong

And who are you to tell us

Who to love and who to not

Because your mother told ya

You would win when you were young

Oh it's a boy's wonderland

We know it now

But now the liberals aren't liberal

They're just as venomous

And you can't have an opinion unless you're one of us

No second chances you're branded

Your kind are dangerous

We're bringing each other down

We're tearing each other down

So have I gotta kill myself to be original

And if I f**king hate you all am I a criminal

Can you afford to be an individual

Can you afford to be an individual
