lyrics

You were told to come alone
Joe said, if you vote for him, he’ll abdicate his throne
As the father of the crime bill, soul of Jim Crow.
Proud to live and vote as a Strom Thurmond clone

And if he tried to kiss your daughter with the cameras rolling, he‘ll try more than kissing her alone.

Then he’ll cozy up with Jill for a photo like a portrait of the Kissinger’s at home.

Hate to kill the messenger
But if he’s gotta go
We can FaceTime
And I’ll slit his throat while he stares into the phone

Like “if you don’t know, kitten, now you know.”
This is where austerity has gotten us, this is all that palpable excitement for a 20 year wait on forgiveness for your student loans

But a distraction’s a distraction,
and it’s time to see some action
So here’s one last song for Joe

Before I try to keep his name out of the lyrics in my phone

Try to shift the focus to our senators and everyone in congress who is all too glad to be hidden while we’re wasted to the bone

It is not ‘Food Insecure’ it’s ‘Starvation’ and it lurks in almost half this country’s homes

So if you’re gonna lay down, hold your nose, and vote for Joe

Have the guts to admit that you chose to submit

and that you decided lending your support to a pedophile must be a step towards hope

That a vote for a man who spent his whole life implementing laws that dehumanized people of color is a vote against fascism

When you know damn well he’s just a kinder, dumber face on the same white nationalism

Then throw away your scruples with the memories of your activism

Watch your weak resistance usher in a fucking cataclysm

Elect a bigot war pig and say you’re gonna push him into pacifism

That’s some bootlicker Stockholm hostage liberal masochism
