Lyric

Department of Support

________________________________________

【Intro】

Number called — beep

A voice with no face

“Next in line, please”

Nobody looks at you

________________________________________

【Hook】

Department of support

We’ll help you make a life — that’s the report

Department of support

I’ve had enough — I’ve had enough

Department of support

Drowning in forms, can’t breathe anymore

Department of support

Ain’t nobody getting saved

【Verse 1】

Carbon clean, dry-clean dreams

Polished words but nothing’s what it seems

Disability aid — won’t even stand

You holding people up or keeping ’em pinned?

“Living support” — yeah, give me cash

On paper it’s help, in real life it’s trash

Farming grants from a city desk

Hands never touched dirt, still passing the test

I stood in line at that window once

Waiting for my name like it meant something

They spoke so kind, so carefully

But nothing changed when I walked out empty

________________________________________

【Hook】

Department of support

We’ll help you make a life — that’s the report

Department of support

I’ve had enough — I’ve had enough

________________________________________

【Verse 2】

End-of-life aid — call that care?

Or helping people vanish clean somewhere?

Matchmaking schemes — tasting love

Swipe after swipe but it’s never enough

Lifelong learning — stay a child

Thinking’s risky, compliance is styled

Support, support, more support

More signs on doors, less real support

Managers, titles, polished names

Responsibility fades like smoke in the frame

The work gets done by invisible hands

Underpaid girls trying to stand

________________________________________

【Verse 3】

Fluorescent lights to LED

“Energy saving,” they tell it to me

But bids are fixed, same company wins

Same damn numbers, same quiet sins

Lights still worked — ripped them out

Tax money shining what’s this about?

It’s not the office getting bright

Just darker truths coming into light

Money flows before the light

Replace, replace — do it again

Call it “safety,” call it “plan”

People on site just shake their heads

But upstairs? Already said

________________________________________

【Bridge】

Fluorescent white, cold and clean

LED glare on a broken machine

Either way what they illuminate

Ain’t us — it’s numbers on a page

“System says no” — that’s all it takes

To draw a line through a life that breaks

In a world full of support systems

Why can’t we breathe?

________________________________________

【Final Hook】

Department of support

We’ll help you make a life — that’s the report

Department of support

I’ve had enough — I’ve had enough

Department of support

Holding you down while calling it support

Department of support

Ain’t nobody getting saved

【Outro】

I don’t need your support

Just let me live
