Released 19th March 2021
They love a manufactured world
of panic and of risk
A world of fear and chaos,
because it keeps the markets brisk.
Fear and panic stops you seeing,
no time to run the gauntlet
In a world of love and satisfaction
all sales would surely plummet.
Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!
So If you’re gonna Make a Lie,
set the scene, complete it
You might as well go supersize
and simply just repeat it
Eventually they’ll all believe
in every voting booth
‘Cos no one checks the facts no more,
then The Lie becomes The Truth
Crawling dread, Fear and Panic
The forest blinded by the trees
Stuck on loop, repeat!, repeat!
Unable to discern it, see?
No apparent morality
Creeping new normality
No hope, no whys, no ifs, no buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts
Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!
I break away like an angel I'm spreading,
Wings to the sky but it ain't heaven I'm heading,
fly to the sun with an Icarus complex,
homey never melt when I'm hitting it on flex,
real deal cos this fire ain't mythical,
laying out legends hell this game ain't difficult.
winners taking chances we see it we risk it,
others sit at home hear a knock and they missed it.
Real talk can you walk the walk,
keep on treading when the game says halt.
we keep pushing let the world push back,
lay em out flat when we hit new tracks.
ME washing over me, you can change the world
but you can't change G, see.
we keeping it real for real sake,
underestimation is a major mistake.
Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!
If that’s your final answer,
you’re asking the wrong questions
We know the price of everything,
but value nothing, no exceptions
Since the dawn facade of it,
civilisation’s counterfeit
Founded by the peers on high,
perpetuated by the masses’ eye
Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!
All Picassos of their fame,
massed fakery’s part of the game
Name one, then two, link three, see four
idols dropping to the floor
Implicit in the games they play
compete to live another day
Shakespeare wept, we all cried,
the day the music lied
Crawling dread, Fear and Panic
The forest blinded by the trees
Stuck on loop, repeat! repeat!
Unable to discern it, see?
No apparent morality
Creeping new normality
No hope, no whys, no ifs, no buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts
Fear and Panic
Repeat! Repeat!
Fear and Panic
No hope, whys, ifs, buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts
