Theme
A geopolitical commentary focusing on the perceived decline of the United States' global influence and the internal divisions that hasten this process. The song criticizes the internal segregation and conflict (**'It's me against you'**), suggesting a loss of core strength. It warns against accepting the **'false narrative'** and emphasizes the importance of dissent and 'thinking for themselves' in a coming **'post american world'**.
Lyrics
We see each other through **different eyes**
**Segregating ourselves by class and size**
It's **me against you** in everything that they do
This planet's become one big **spinning disaster**
If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's **coming next**
**What will we look like?**
In a **post american world**
Why **cower all those**
Who **oppose the american world**?
When you **walk away from that which makes you strong**
You only fool yourself; you only **weaken your cause**
There's **creeping hate** if you **resist the false narrative**
**Crushing all the dissenters who still think for them selves**
If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's **coming next**
**What will we look like?**
In a **post american world**
Why **cower all those**
Who **oppose the american world**?
No!
No!
**What will we look like?**
In a **post american world**
Why **cower all those**
Who **oppose the american world**?
