Tom Macdonald's lyrics. 1st one is "Sheeple." The 2nd is "The System."

"Humans been controlled since the day that they was civilized
The truth has been so heavily politicized
If you don't know who's controlling you and killing all the little guys
Find out who you're not allowed to criticize
Black folks who were never ever actual slaves
Fighting with white folks who ain't actual Nazis
Controlled by rich folks who use the news to make hate
While elite folks control all the political parties
It's a big lie, tryna make you pick sides
Tryna make you burn the cities down and kill each other, they got sick minds
Big lies, defund the police so that there's big crime
Then take away our freedom to restore order they let die
Play with people, turn men into women
Make the counterculture mainstream to mix up the system
Change the pronouns, if gender is a spectrum, so is privilege
I know poor white folks and black celebrities with millions
They starve you with a lack of information
And only give you facts through a branded corporation
Distort your worldview with an algorithm that changes
Based on propaganda curated for your engagement
We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team
But y'all are sheep glued to screens, just part of the machine
Y'all are sheeple, what do y'all believe?
To all my sheeple, nothing's what it seems
Hollywood been rotting your brain, controlling your mouth
You say "Lit", "Fleek", "Bet", "Cap", they tryna dumb you down
They endorse whatever narrative is popular to shout
And use minorities in movies for diversity clout
Two sides on the spectrum, but ain't none of 'em honest
Took the red pill and the blue pill, spit 'em both in the garbage
Being woke used to mean you understood you're a target
And now it's having two good legs and never taking a step forward
If you agree, it's free speech, disagree, it's hate speech
Erase it if it came from anywhere except the mainstream
Trump supporters labeled as the racists, but that can't be
Lincoln was Republican, and that's who ended slavery
Science been politicized, it's easy to see
A mask became a symbol of which side you believe
But you'll never cure a sickness till you cure all the greed
Because the problem with our natural immunity is it's free
Society is broke and want you locked inside a cubicle
Addicted to pornography, liquor, and pharmaceuticals
Tell you that you're fat and poor and you were never beautiful
Then tweet how much they love you when they hear about your funeral
We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team
But y'all are sheep glued to screens, just part of the machine
Y'all are sheeple, what do y'all believe?
To all my sheeple, nothing's what it seems
If they can't convince you, they confuse you, they want you dumb or dead
They divided you by race, religion, income, and sex
Made everybody right or left, the hatred got so intense
If the other side likes oxygen, you'll put a bag on your head
And the conspiracy theories labeled as misinformation
It's just the terrifying truth that scares the hell out the nation
The system treating you like trash, and you got rifles to aim with
Just imagine how they'll treat you when your guns get confiscated
George Orwell, 1984 was his last lecture
George called 'em thought police, now we call 'em fact-checkers
Government surveillance tryna catch you, they don't ask questions
Mass incarceration equals capital for cash investments
The system isn't broke, it's working fine
Oppressive and chaotic is how it was designed
They say if we ain't doing nothing wrong, there's nothing to hide
While their agenda and intelligence completely classified
They don't teach you rights in school, you never learned 'em at all
'Cause they're easy to remove if you don't know what they are
The only people you can rule are the criminal ones
So they force you into corners till you're breaking the law
We can't be free, can't have no peace till we're on the same team
But y'all are sheep glued to screens, just part of the machine
Y'all are sheeple, what do y'all believe?
To all my sheeple, nothing's what it seems."


Next, "The System."

"Welcome to the world, baby boy, I'll paint you red and white and blue
The indoctrination starts as soon as you come out the womb
Pretty quick we'll make you stupid with curriculums at school
And if the classroom doesn't do the trick, we'll make you watch the news
Pick your team, right or left, pick the red pill or the blue
You can vote, but even if you win, still everyone will lose
Don't forget to buy designer because Gucci makes you cool
We prioritize material belongings over truth
Get a job that you can't stand so you can buy some cans of food
Go overseas and die for freedom, there's some oil we could use
Our democracy exists so that you think that you could choose
But our algorithms make you do what we want you to do
What's the problem, you're depressed? Society has you confused?
We got medication for you that you'll probably abuse
Go get married to a lady who also don't have a clue
And pump out a few babies that are just the same as you
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the world, baby girl, I'll paint you pink if that's okay
We'll encourage self-destruction through the music that you play
We divided all the men by tryin' politics and race
And honestly, it's workin' awesome, so for you we'll do the same
Never teachin' you to love yourself, inject you full of hate
Objectify your sexuality then blame you for the rape
And weaponize the differences that make our men and women great
And just to screw with you, erase the genders, everyone's the same
We'll empower you with rights to vote and fight for equal pay
Then have the men turn into women and you'll fight for them again
But you thought you had it figured out, but everything has changed
Welcome to the system, please enjoy your stay
Here's a Bible and a bottle of the cheapest booze we make
Find a man who can take care of you to fill the holes we made
Buy a house and settle down, fulfill your duty, procreate
And make a couple babies who will also do the same
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the world, everybody, I'ma paint you black and white
I'ma make you hate each other so that everyone will fight
I'ma give you all religion, let the righteous find the light
But I will also give you science to oppose the Word of Christ
And I'ma give you borders, they're imaginary lines
If you cross them, go to war and win when everybody dies
And I'ma give you money that you'll value more than life
And let the one percent have everything while you fight to survive
And then I'll give you politics, I'll call it left and right
And while you divide yourselves, I will conquer both the sides
Can't you see? I'm the system, my whole purpose is divide
What you choose will never matter because everything is mine
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong
Welcome to the system, everyone's a victim
Doesn't matter if you're black or white, it hates you all
Here inside the system, violence is a symptom
Fighting for what's right, but somehow everyone is wrong"


 
While they are playing victim and victimizers during these times of societal breakdown, they best be thinking of what they gonna eat.

Wonder where they filmed the street scenes. It looks kind of like Montana -- maybe the Bitterroot. Beautiful.
