Tribalism Songtext

von Enter Shikari

Shikari, it was a third generation Aztec
His tribe accepting human reality
It was the basis of their ability
To sustain with humble tranquility

But civilization encouraged religions
Which in turn introduced depravity
And that was a bigger realization
As when my boy Newton discovered gravity

'Cause it transformed the way we bounce
About on a daily basis, not content with a doubt
About the knowledge of who's up there
Quick, give him a name, a trident, and a chair

Sharpish, what happened to wonder?
Why can't we accept we're not capable of thunder?
So we welcome the lies with open arms
And we turn into suckers when they turn on the charm

You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil and trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness

You shout through our speakers
And we don't turn them off 'cause, trapped in silence
It's tougher but this time, we'll turn the speakers off

And we won't stay silent, we'll make as much noise
As we can and I ask what's a thought without a voice
To voice it? It's just a thought
And I ask what's a thought without a voice
To voice it? It's just a thought

The original affluent society
Floating free of capitalistic anxiety
But all that has survived now is the pack vibe
But the catch is dogs don't eat other dogs

We're able animals, employed by criminals
In this cannibalistic society
Where we scrimp and save just to behave
With the utmost propriety

You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil and trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness

You're trying to run us all into the ground
To be swallowed by the soil and trapped by the rain
In your concrete garden of falseness

You shout through our speakers
And we don't turn them off

'Cause, trapped in silence, it's tougher
But this time, we'll turn the speakers off
And we won't stay silent

We'll make as much noise as we can
And I ask what's a thought without a voice
To voice it? It's just a thought

We will shout our heads off, we won't stop until you hear
We won't stop until you trip up upon yourselves
We won't stay silent, we won't stay silent
