Cheap Seats Video (MV)

[Intro]
From the nosebleed section, watching all the bullshit below
Another day at the circus, man, it's quite a show

[Verse 1]
Cheap seats in the back, squinting at the stage
While fat cats in suits perform their well-rehearsed rage
Nonna at the dinner table, rolling her eyes
"Same clowns, different decade," she was always wise
They toss us breadcrumbs, we're supposed to feel blessed
While they're dining on caviar, living their best
Democracy's a ticket that I bought on sale
Standing room only in this fairy tale

[Chorus]
We got the cheap seats (cheap seats)
Where hope and dreams compete (compete)
They keep us just close enough to see
But far enough to never be free
In these cheap seats (cheap seats)
The view is incomplete (incomplete)
They're selling us participation
While we watch from the cheap seats

[Verse 2]
Got my popcorn ready for the daily show
Same old promises from ten years ago
They pass the mic around like it means something
But we're all just extras in their little puppet string
My Facebook feed's a circus of shared rage
But we're all just critics trapped in this cage
Streaming revolution from our phones
While nothing changes and nobody owns

[Bridge]
The irony ain't lost on me
I'm spitting bars about what I see
But maybe I'm just another clown
In this whole damn circus going down

[Chorus]
We got the cheap seats (cheap seats)
Where hope and dreams compete (compete)
They keep us just close enough to see
But far enough to never be free
In these cheap seats (cheap seats)
The view is incomplete (incomplete)
They're selling us participation
While we die in these cheap seats

[Outro]
From the back row, squinting at the stage
Still trying to read between the lines of this page
Nonna was right, it's all just a game
Different actors, but the show stays the same
