Yelling at Empty Seats


VERSE 1
You’re not owed an audience
And we’re not fucking idiots
Shouting in an empty venue
Isn’t on our college menu
Fuck your so called “big ideas”
There’s no sense in fighting us
Racist trash and sexist garbage
Spoken by obvious con artists

CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?

VERSE 2
Yelling at invisible drag queens
Transgender males in their teens
Black Lives Matter protestors
And human rights protectors
Yelling at people not even there
We stayed home in case you care
Your talking points bore us to tears
Try spreading hope instead of fear

CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?

PRE-VERSE
Let me ask you a philosophical question

VERSE 3
If you shout and nobody cares
Were you even fucking there?
Do you go on a verbal tear
And picture everyone in underwear?
When you break the fourth wall
Do you need to give mommy a call?
If only there was someone to answer
But we’re busy avoiding your banter

EXTENDED CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?
Yelling at empty rows
Purple-in-the-face prose
Save it, we already know
Same shit, different show
