Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Mm-hmm

Uh-oh

Yo

Verse 1

I wake up irritated every single morning

politics is poison and the pundits keep performing

They pander

They posture

They promise me the moon

Then pivot to a payday and a photo op by noon

I studied every senator who swears he's for the people

He's voting for the pipeline and a brand new steeper steeple

Sycophantic simpletons on sycophantic shows

They manufacture outrage and they monetize the woes

My neighbor's got a flag and a rifle and a grudge

He hates the guy across the street for reasons he won't budge

Divide and conquer

Simple

Cheap

Effective as a punch

They feed you fear for breakfast and they sell you fear for lunch

I'm not a savior

Not a prophet

Not a saint

Just a loudmouth with a mic and an inability to faint

Chorus

So call it out

Call it out

Every single lie

Call it out

Call it out

Look 'em in the eye

I ain't scared to say it

Say it to your face

Call it out

Call it out

Put 'em in their place

Post-Chorus

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah

Uh

Verse 2

They told me that the economy was booming

Meanwhile my rent is skyrocketing and dooming

Every single paycheck to a landlord and a bank

I'm drowning in the system and I never even sank

A boat

I'm just a number in a column and a chart

A dot upon a map without a country or a heart

But wait

I got a voice

I got a set of lungs

I got a tongue that's sharper than a thousand pointed tongues

Oligarchical architects design the little boxes

We shuffle in and out of them like poorly painted foxes

Hypocritical

Political

Cynical

And loud

They profit off the panic while they're standing in the crowd

So pardon my profanity

My crass and crude approach

But comedy is honesty and honesty's a coach

That'll slap you in the face until you finally understand

The only thing they fear is a united common hand

Chorus

So call it out

Call it out

Every single lie

Call it out

Call it out

Look 'em in the eye

I ain't scared to say it

Say it to your face

Call it out

Call it out

Put 'em in their place

Post-Chorus

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah

Uh

Bridge

Maybe I'm a cynic

Maybe I'm a clown

Maybe I'm the only one who won't sit down

Maybe I'm a cynic

Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe I'm the loudest man inside a quiet school

But I'd rather be obnoxious than obedient and numb

I'd rather be the problem than a cog inside the drum

Chorus

So call it out

Call it out

Every single lie

Call it out

Call it out

Look 'em in the eye

I ain't scared to say it

Say it to your face

Call it out

Call it out

Put 'em in their place

Post-Chorus

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah

Uh

Outro

Nah nah nah

Uh
