Wrong Side
Defying Decline: Unmasking the Wrong Side of History
Lyrics
Not the last gasp of a dying age
Rejecting the notion that the current state is the end of an era.
With the old bigots in graves
Old prejudiced individuals are no longer influential; they are buried.
The remaining few
Referring to the small number of remaining bigots.
Talk loud and that's what they'll do
Despite being few, they express their views loudly.
Until you punch shut their face
Suggesting confrontation as a response to their vocal expressions.
It can't wait
Emphasizing urgency.
Reprobates
Describing them as morally corrupt or unprincipled.
They're on the wrong side of it
Confirming that they are on the morally wrong side of the issue.
It can't wait
Reiterating the urgency of the situation.
Cuz they love to hate
Indicating that they derive pleasure from hatred.
They're on the wrong side of it
Reaffirming their position on the wrong side morally.
The wrong side, gonna watch their decline
Predicting the decline of those on the wrong side.
They're on the wrong side of it
Emphasizing their continued moral error.
The wrong side, now they're outta time
Stating that they are running out of time on the wrong side.
They're on the wrong side of it
Reiterating their moral misalignment.
They're on the wrong side of history
Suggesting that they are on the wrong side of historical progress.
And now we're living in misery
Connecting their position to the current state of unhappiness.
It's pay to play
Referring to a system where success is based on financial contributions.
And on your fears they prey
Exploiting people's fears for their benefit.
Won't let them relish this victory
Determined not to let them enjoy their perceived victory.
It can't wait
Reiterating the urgency of the situation.
Cuz they love to hate
Confirming their enjoyment of hating.
You're on the wrong side of it
Stating again that they are on the wrong side morally.
The wrong side, gonna watch their decline
Repeating the prediction of decline for those on the wrong side.
You're on the wrong side of it
Reiterating that they are running out of time on the wrong side.
The wrong side, now they're outta time
Affirming that they are out of time on the wrong side.
You're on the wrong side of it
Final confirmation that they are on the wrong side morally.
