I can't Sleep
(Verse 1)
I can't sleep, tossin' and turnin' in the night
Dreams of a world that's just not quite right
Flashin' screens, fake news, it's a fight
And now I'm haunted by the face of a man named Mike
Woke up screamin', heart beatin' out of my chest
Thought it was a nightmare, but it's just the rest
Of the world goin' down in the West
And that clown with the comb-over is back on the quest
Yeah, I can't sleep, my mind's in overdrive
Thinkin' 'bout the time when we let him slide
Now he's back, and it's like we're paralyzed
While he tweets his lies, the world's on the fries
And across the pond, there's Keir Starmer, the knight
With a smile so slick, but he's not quite the type
To fight the fire, he's just stirring the hype
While we're all choking, he's sippin' his tea at night
(Chorus)
I can't sleep, 'cause the devil's in the house
And he's got the whole world in a blitzkrieg blouse
Everything's a mess, it's all goin' down the spout
And we're just stuck here screamin' "Get him out!"
(Verse 2)
They say history repeats, but I can't take the beat
Of this f*ckin' joke that's become so elite
We've got a madman with a Twitter feed
And a wannabe king with a crown made of deceit
The walls are closin' in, the ceilin's low
But we're too busy watchin' the show
To realize we're all in the throes
Of a society that's breakin' down, don't you know?
I can't sleep, the shadows are too deep
Trump's got his finger on the button, we're all in too steep
A second term, oh, it makes me weep
But the sheep keep bleatin', they're in too deep a sleep
And Starmer's there, with his legalese
But when it comes to action, he's as soft as cheese
Can't cut through the bullsh*t, we're all in a freeze
While the country's on its knees, he's just a tease
(Chorus)
I can't sleep, 'cause the devil's in the house
And he's got the whole world in a blitzkrieg blouse
Everything's a mess, it's all goin' down the spout
And we're just stuck here screamin' "Get him out!"
(Bridge)
In the quiet of the night, I'm writing my manifesto
With a heart so heavy, it's like I've got the whole world to tote
I can't just lie here, let this chaos grow
Got to get up, stand up, let my voice show
(Verse 3)
So, I'm throwin' on my armor, gonna fight the storm
With a pen that's sharper than any sword I've ever sworn
To the truth, to the youth, to the cause of the forlorn
We won't let the darkness win, we've got more in store
I'm a modern-day gladiator, ready to perform
My battle cry's so loud, it'll cut through the norm
We're not just pawns in their political porn
We're the voice of the people, we're here to perform
(Chorus)
I can't sleep, 'cause the devil's in the house
And he's got the whole world in a blitzkrieg blouse
Everything's a mess, it's all goin' down the spout
But we're wakin' up now, we're gonna shout
(Outro)
We won't take it lying down, we're not their pets
We're gonna stand up, we're not gonna forget
We're the storm that's comin', the one they'll regret
I can't sleep, tossin' and turnin' in the night
Dreams of a world that's just not quite right
Flashin' screens, fake news, it's a fight
