[Intro — calm, eerie]
(quiet)
Still smiling…
Still playing along…
⸻
Nothing’s changed…
We just got used to it…
⸻
[Verse 1 — smooth, vibey]
Same streets… same pressure on the chest…
Different day but it’s feeling like the rest…
⸻
Wake up, scroll, see the same old lies…
Different headline, just a different disguise…
⸻
Everybody tired but we still clock in…
Bills go up, but the wages don’t win…
⸻
Keep it all quiet, don’t question too much…
Smile for the system, don’t say it’s corrupt…
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — subtle lift]
(soft)
We all see it…
But we don’t speak…
⸻
Too busy just trying…
to make ends meet…
⸻
[Hook — vibey, catchy]
(smooth, rhythmic)
It’s a polite society…
Keep your head low, don’t fight the scene…
⸻
Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be…
Even when it don’t feel right to me…
⸻
Polite society…
play your role, don’t question things…
⸻
Close your eyes…
and just believe…
⸻
[Verse 2 — deeper, more personal]
I see stress in my people’s eyes…
But nobody says it, we just let it slide…
⸻
Conversations short, energy low…
Everyone’s feeling it but nobody shows…
⸻
It’s not just them, yeah it’s us as well…
Caught in a cycle we know too well…
⸻
Work, survive, repeat again…
Tell ourselves that it’s “just how it ends”…
⸻
[Switch — slightly quicker]
It’s normal now, we don’t react
Truth sounds crazy, lies sound fact
⸻
They keep talking, we don’t reply
Too worn down just getting by
⸻
And it’s mad how we all adapt
To a system that don’t give back
⸻
Still we move like it’s all okay
Just another version of yesterday
⸻
[Hook — repeat]
(smooth)
It’s a polite society…
Keep your head low, don’t fight the scene…
⸻
Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be…
Even when it don’t feel right to me…
⸻
Polite society…
play your role, don’t question things…
⸻
Close your eyes…
and just believe…
⸻
[Bridge — stripped, deeper]
(quiet, reflective)
When did we all get so used to this…
⸻
When did silence become the fix…
⸻
When did truth start feeling wrong…
And we just… moved along…
⸻
[Final Hook — heavier tone]
(slightly darker)
It’s a polite society…
Where nothing’s ever what it seems…
⸻
Say it’s fine… say it’s meant to be…
Even when it’s killing me…
⸻
Polite society…
we’re all part of the machine…
⸻
Close your eyes…
and just believe…
⸻
[Outro — subtle, haunting]
(quiet)
Still smiling…
⸻
Still playing along…
