Artist:Millennial_Malady
Duration:3:32
Tags:Early-2000s rap-rock hybrid,drop-tuned distorted guitars and aggressive male vocals,halftime head-nod groove in verses that explodes into a shouted,melodic hook. Verses ride a tight,syncopated drum pattern with palm-muted chugs; chorus opens up with wide power chords and gang vocals on key lines. Brief feedback squeals and pick scrapes between sections,with a short breakdown before the final chorus for crowd chants and extra grit.,male vocals
[Intro] Scroll, swipe Same old stain Nation of noise Drowning in shame [Verse 1] Red, white, blindfold Hand on the flag like a halo Preacher on the screen says, “We’re chosen” While kids in the alleys stay frozen Bills in the pocket of the wolves in ties Smile for the cameras, monetize lies Pixel on a screen, body for a fee Selling out souls for a little bit of “free” Onlyfans, only fans the flame Lonely hearts locked in a username Thumbs go numb, feed keeps feeding Time bleeds out but nobody’s leaving [Chorus] This is modern-day Babylon We keep burning while we sing along You ain’t chosen if your heart’s gone wrong You ain’t chosen till the pride is gone America, you’re not the throne Dust and ashes on a borrowed stone Turn or burn in your comfort zone Only hope is Jesus on the cross alone (hey!) [Verse 2] Greed in a glass tower, feast on the famine Stock goes up when the bombs start slamming Kids in cages, bodies in a cargo van Price tag printed on the back of a human Fast food faith, drive-through grace Sunday show, then erase His face Say “God bless” while the warplanes fly Pray for peace as the innocent die Scrolling past another crying mother New tab open while you judge your brother Hands so busy with a screen-lit glow Could’ve been folded, could’ve been low [Chorus] This is modern-day Babylon We keep burning while we sing along You ain’t chosen if your heart’s gone wrong You ain’t chosen till the pride is gone America, you’re not the throne Dust and ashes on a borrowed stone Turn or burn in your comfort zone Only hope is Jesus on the cross alone [Bridge] [Breakdown – drums and guitar chugs] Get low Face down Hear that Grave sound Babylon falls, every tower, every crown Every proud tongue getting weighed, getting found You want mercy? Drop your mask in the dirt You want freedom? Let Him wash that hurt (woah) [Chorus] This is modern-day Babylon We keep burning while we sing along You ain’t chosen if your heart’s gone wrong You ain’t chosen till the pride is gone America, you’re not the throne Dust and ashes on a borrowed stone Turn and live, let the idols go Only hope is Jesus, He can save your soul (yeah!)
