We don’t have royalty
But we do have celebrity
We don’t have scapegoats
But they'll cram down our throats
The narrative they choose
We all have something to lose
But the stars will fall
We don’t think about at all
Their souls their bodies
We just want to know about the parties
And who’s fucking who
What if it were you
Who lost your kids while the world sat by
And gaped at you, would you let it lie?
Or would you take up self-harm
To sound your own alarm
Would you accept the prison
So that you might get to see them
On weekends and holidays
Years go by in a daze
Of the highest class slavery
No one sees the bravery
It takes to smile and stay thin and hot
And to try to find some peace with your lot
A sacrifice in plain sight
We don’t burn witches but we just might
Enjoy a delicious roast
Please let us toast
To the machines that grind us
Destroy and bind us
We are all Brittney, bitches
All potential witches
To be burned and flayed
We should be afraid
Until Brittney’s free
It could be you-or me.
