Thanks I Hate It

[Verse 1] You say it's progress, you say it's cool But I don't want to play the fool Your shiny new world, it's not for me Fake smiles and plastic, that's all I see [Pre-Chorus] You call it change, but it's just a mess Wrapped up in lies, dressed to impress I can't pretend, I won't be blind In your perfect world, I'm out of time [Chorus] Thanks, I hate it, can't you see? This shiny veneer means nothing to me You call it the future, I call it a lie In your perfect world, I won't comply [Verse 2] You build it up, so high and grand But it's just castles made of sand Promising dreams, selling fake But I won't bend, I won't break [Pre-Chorus] You call it progress, I call it fake A shallow world, too much at stake I won't pretend, I see the flaws In your hollow cause, I won't applause [Chorus] Thanks, I hate it, can't you see? This shiny veneer means nothing to me You call it the future, I call it a lie In your perfect world, I won't comply [Bridge] You paint it gold, but it's still rust In your empty promises, I can't trust I'll forge my path, I'll find my way In this world of chaos, I won't sway [Chorus] Thanks, I hate it, can't you see? This shiny veneer means nothing to me You call it the future, I call it a lie In your perfect world, I won't comply [Outro] So take your dreams and your empty plans I'll be standing tall, making my own stand In your perfect world, I don't fit Thanks, I hate it, and that's just it
