i drive in circles bc i don't know what to do

Driving cirlcles around this town, writing circles around this town

Ive never been a fan of country, or anything that sounds southern at all (even though im from NC) but this is just a good song through and through. That makes you and Orville Peck really the only country music I like!

Circles Around This Town

Out Of That Truck

[Lyrics]

One day, a plane fell from the sky,
Forty-two souls, left to survive.
Stranded here on an empty land,
They vowed to live, hand in hand.

No kings, no chains, only free,
Everyone equal, let it be.
No orders given, all take their part,
But then…


Who will lead? I will lead!
Scattered hands must follow me!
I take the burden, I take the blame,
I'll build a paradise in my name!


The people sought a guiding hand,
And crowned a ruler in the sand.
To feed the tribe, to keep them strong,
He led the search, they moved along.


Fruits are found! Who shall pick?
Catch the fish! Who can swim?
Carry water! It’s too thick…
No complaints, just work for them!


With wounds and sweat, they stood as one,
A feast to mark what they had won.
But whispers rose beneath the light,
And then…


Why should you be king of all?
I am wiser, hear my call!
What do you know? What have you done?
I know the way, I am the one!


The king was wrathful, called his men,
Crushed dissent, then ruled again.
Food was rationed, favors spread,
Power fed on fear and bread.


Birth of a throne, rise of the cruel,
A leader’s rule, a tyrant’s rule.
No skill, no merit, just command,
Using hands, then breaking them.


One fell in the hunt, by the king’s demand.
Grief took hold, the whispers grew,
And then…


Down with the king! Tear him apart!
No more orders! No more scars!
Where is the paradise you swore?
We need no leader anymore!


Matt Ridley told, and history proves,
Innovation comes from the bottom up.
No king, no master, only minds.
If they aimed for paradise,
they should have harnessed each person's individuality,
Each striving for their best.
Freedom existed for this purpose.


But when the bonds are torn away,
And fear returns to steal the day,
A voice will rise, as before…
"Follow me, I’ll lead once more."
