Arrowhead - Social Animals Lyrics

It's been a hell of a ride through the past few years
I've fought, conquered and gained new fears
I've been built up, broken and rebuilt again
We're all in this together, in the lion's den
It seems the worlds run by crazy people
With no one to stand up for the weak and feeble
The racists from the history books are out in the streets
Spouting hate disguised as free speech
Think this is peace? Get informed
We're more divided than ever before
It's a wild, wild world, we don't trust one another
We're social animals, but we're eating each other
So much time spent on our phones
Hundreds of "friends," but we feel so alone
We give the stage to those with no love in their hearts
Then we act surprised when the fires start
At each other's throats, coming to a head
My newsfeed says we'll all soon be dead
Threats of war being thrown around
But I'll believe it when the lights go down
This isn't peace, get informed
This is a different kind of war
Does it feel familiar, have you seen it before?
Have we travelled back to 1964?
Hurtling towards this inevitable end
It's now more than ever that we need friends
The good times will come, we'll lift the curse
But before this gets better, it's gonna get worse
Violence, war, prejudice in the streets
Will nothing change till someone bleeds?
Strip back our disguise, we're all the same
Social animals, igniting a flame
Where do you stand? Who do you believe?
Do you stay at home watching it on TV?
Will you defend your flag under attack?
Or will you stand and salute the red, white and black?
And from the ashes let it rise
Something new before our eyes
Let it rise, let it rise
We've gone too far, let the past die
