lyrics

We went from union strong to electing a man
Who never did a damn thing to work with his hands
Except for grabbing prostitutes around the waistband
Or counting that his daddy left him how many grand?

A rising toxic tide chokes colonial seas
Tea party crates clog the straits with debris
Even Ravenswood’s got a Ron Johnson sticker
Kyle HitlerhouseYouth, quick trigger finger

Where we will fly away
Where will we hide?
You know the phone calls
Come from the inside

You know about the black-capped chickadee
It’s got a very rigid social hierarchy
The birds on the top forage close to the tree
The others freeze to death out on the canopy

Yes, you mockingbirds may sing
But you’re under the guidance of a ruthless king
You’re showing off the white patches on your wings
If you would tie your noose I’ll provide the string

It’s not a matter of morality
It’s just a matter of stupidity
I want to slap these hateful fucks til they see stars
But all that would get me is a set of bars

As the ocean surf boils - you’re my escape plan
As the neglected land roils
As 99 endlessly toil
As treason were made loyal

As the mutation spreads
As the prairies turn red
As the armies of braindead
Grow more and more inbred

As the cities ignite
Flames heat an endless night
Until the smoke yields light
Until doomsday strikes midnight
