lyrics
On the lonely end of history
Swinging and swaying to the murder mystery
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets
Courtesy of the land of the free
Well George Floyd was murdered by a cop
The whole world saw the video and watched
Now justice is long over due
Grab your pitchforks we’re heading to Pennsylvania Avenue
Cause enough is enough is enough
I hope the Devil and Donald and Mitch McConnell rot in hell for all tomorrows
To sing alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs to big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America I love you but you’re freaking me out
Well the president gassed protesters
For a photo op in front of a church
He waved a Bible all around
Said “come on God even you better fear me now”
Oh but God’s gonna have the last laugh
Cause all of your money and all of your power
Won’t mean much in your final hour
To sing alongs of siren songs
To oohs to ahhs to big applause
With all of my anger I scream and shout
America I love you but you’re freaking me out

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
