nahreally & the expert - all at once lyrics

[verse]
i might’ve lived four years last month
modern kool+aid’s got a t+rd in the punch
don’t you think it’s absurd that a bunch
of bad stuff seems to happen all at once nowadays?
it’s like you pick up your phone and history’s been made
in a bad way like every other day
but i’m starting to think the only difference is the phone
’cause pain and suffering is like a million years old
now you have to work to be oblivious
to all the ways the world is currently hideous
but that hideousness has always been around
in no greater or lesser amount than right now
war, disease, famine, and genocide
have been cornеrstones of the human entеrprise
since we decided to settle in one spot
it’s happened non+stop whether you know about it or not
planted food, stuck around, made rules
and caste systems to justify the abuse
of our own. and then we fought
over the spots we stopped at a lot
newly crowded in, we shared germs
certain germs emerged that left percentages of us purged
from the earth. and if a crop didn’t grow
a similar amount of people were destined to go
no alerts, no notifications
no way to film or voice indignation—
just death punctuating life
only known by the directly involved and close by
it may be true sunlight’s a disinfectant
but the bleakness of our time has a precedent:
all of history. people just didn’t know
much about anything not in front of their nose
and of course so much has improved
as the horrors of the past and the promise of the future
play tug of war over control of right now
but it’s hard to believe evil has slowed down
on the whole, it’s better to be abreast
of history and current events and proper context
but when the same means that keep some informed
send others backsliding into false folklore
it’s more than likely that we’re doomed to repeat
modern day versions of the ancient atrocities
that we’ve repeated through history ad nauseam—
only this time around we get to watch ’em
