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
