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?
