Performative Chaos

Performative Chaos Invoking confusion and fear Willing us to abandon all sense of knowing People smarter as one than the whole Lining up to participate in the show Washing their minds in imaginary causes While others suffer, for real Look over here, did you over hear? Boom, performative chaos Packaged in a bow, handed out for free On repeat for days, Until they're dazed. Weeding through the scripts For just the facts man I see you there, I know Don't let them hide your truth Lay it's ugliness bare at their feet So they might be disgusted in themselves So they can not ignore the reality So they must claim responsibility Use it to educate, shame and then grow Cuz it's time to grow We need to think then react not be tracked I see you, you deserve equality But you can not get it by hurting me And I know I will never understand But let me stand for the future Beyond the performance of chaos
