Challenging the Flow: Unveiling Privilege and Ego in 'Tools Will Be Tools'
Lyrics
Head high
Expressing confidence or pride.
Knowledge low
Limited knowledge or awareness.
Against it all but go with the flow
Resisting challenges but adapting to circumstances.
No matter how true you pretend to be
Regardless of authenticity, values are not genuine.
Those values that you preach
Values preached are a facade for ignorance and ego.
Are just a cloak for ignorance and
Values serve as a cover for lack of understanding and self-centered pursuits.
Ego trips
Engaging in self-indulgent and egotistical journeys.
And by the way what's the point in thinking all your talking will keep this long-lost ship from sinking
Questioning the efficacy of verbal expression in preventing inevitable failures.
In your world there's just yes or no
Binary worldview with limited perspectives.
Claim that you're against it all
Claiming opposition to societal norms but conforming pragmatically.
But still go with the flow
Despite claims, aligning with prevailing trends.
The darkest of times
Acknowledging challenging and difficult times.
They're here no doubt
Acknowledging the presence of difficult situations.
And it's people like you who make sure
Attributing the continuation of challenging times to certain individuals.
That they're still around
Those individuals contribute to the persistence of difficulties.
It's just another fist fight
Characterizing life struggles as commonplace conflicts.
One that shapes our lives
Life struggles influence and shape our existence.
Some days you win
Life experiences include both victories and defeats.
Others you lose
Varied outcomes in life situations.
Good things they come in fives
Positive experiences often occur in clusters.
I am a blank fist
Identifying as a force that causes setbacks.
One that knocks you down
A force that overpowers and defeats others.
And that's the reason why you wish that I was not around
Provoking a desire for one's absence due to negative impact.
There is a place in hell for people just like you
Condemning a specific group to a negative afterlife.
Pure disgust for privileged white kids
Strong disapproval for entitled individuals who lack perspective.
Who think they've been through it all
Disapproval for privileged individuals claiming extensive life experiences.
Pure disgust for privileged white kids who think they're the center of the world
Reiterating disapproval for entitled individuals who perceive themselves as the center of the world.
