No emergency, just say it’s a new world

Transcended turmoil

Diving into the valley beyond

Haven’t you heard?

In the new world you can be whoever the fuck you want

(Goodbye, bastards)

Didn’t let them grind us down

(Marching onwards)

Sent their hate back underground

An ongoing urgency?

It doesn’t look like anything to me

Victory, we came through

It’s over now the storm has been weathered

United, we knew we’d never fail

We’ll forever be the ones who made the bastards turn and run

Let's have this dance for just one lovely night

(Bring yourself back online)

No emergency, just keep them smart enough to keep manning the machines

No emergency, just keep them dumb enough to believe

It’s over now the storm has been weathered

As if we’ve done enough to bail

Our real work won’t be done until the bastards drop their guns

While the battle’s done for now, the war isn’t won

The same old stories

Ad infinitum

True resolution

Only ever in fiction

Maybe simulation’s over for you

A symptom of a wider trope

Isn’t the final form

We haven’t exorcised the ideology

Goodbye Bastards
