In an Alternate Timeline by El Has Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2021

In an alternate timeline when the Coronavirus has not had an outbreak, the situation isn't any less confusing
Everyone is risking their lives for a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper
(Alright, it's GCSE time!) and you lot seem to think that's a good thing to do

We have arrived in this fucked up world
It's August, and now we're gonna see who lives and who dies (Why?)
This has been how it's worked for hundreds of years (that's too long)
Long enough for this strategy to be adopted around the world (Did people not think about that? That's a ridiculous fucking idea!)
This is a crucial time that'll decide loads of futures
Nobody knows why, but we've all accepted it as the way it should be (You are all dickheads!)
What I'd like to know is WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD WAY OF DOING ANYTHING??!!
You'd think by now we'd have moved onto a better strategy

In an alternate timeline
Nobody is any less screwed over the head
Than we all are here (COVID is not a bigger problem than random numbers killing people.)
The only difference is that the reason's ever so slightly different
I hate to say it, but COVID-19 is not what's making your life hard
Nobody cares if you can't go to cut your hair (That explosion in Beirut did more damage! Come on!)
We're lucky we're not being shot for no fucking reason
Your priorities are completely screwed beyond repair
So it's time the way the world works get completely overhauled
"Uuuu, life's so fookin hard!" Bullshit!
You've been overprotected since the day you were born!!
Try being shot in the fucking head because of the wrong frequency of light! (Stop shooting people, for fuck's sake!)
You need to get it into your shit brain
That there's more important things to worry about! (Like your job!)
Why are you crying about wearing masks?
If it bothers you so much take the damn thing off! (Oh, but I'll die if I do!)

I'm starting to think there's bullshit afoot
Leave everyone alone and stop fucking crying
About things that amount to literally nothing (Like your looks)
I shouldn't have to care about some numbers on a sheet of paper (Results?)
But it just so happens that if they're too low
THEY'LL BE GETTING AWAY WITH GENOCIDE ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

In an alternate timeline this is all just another day
In an alternate timeline we'll never be able to get away
In an alternate timeline I won't let control freaks be alive
In an alternate timeline COVID's not the excuse for GENOCIDE

What's your excuse for all this?
Is it some random bat in the East? (Someone ate a diseased bat in China.)
Who gave you the right to use some bullshit to start killing everyone? (COVID exists, imma have to kill you now.)
There's no fucking reason that some numbers on a sheet of paper (The random number generator of death decides who lives)
Should be the single cause of thousands of deaths every single day...
I'm speaking from an instant ago (Multiverse theory's a bitch.)
Everything is very different
There's no COVID anywhere but everyone's still dying (They're being killed for no reason!)
The numbers say you should be dead
& they don't have a fucking good reason for that
You're probably glad you got a free pass (from the RNG)
But they will screw you over later

"Stop. Think about it."
What do you think is going on out there? (Lots of stuff)
If you think it's absolutely nothing
Then let it be known there's still tyrants there
Everyone's killing for no fucking reason
Because they're more concerned about their appearance (Why do you fucking CARE?!!)
You've got your future ahead of you
Stop wasting all the other ones
If you ignore all of this I WILL PERSONALLY END YOU MYSELF!!

In the end our lives should all depend
On just how well we all manage to live them out
And anyone who interferes won’t survive

In an alternate timeline not much is different
The arbitrary unrelated reasons are slightly changed
Qualifications make me sick
Why're they why most people die?!
If this continues
Someone will use that to wipe us out
