lyrics

Legend says that Hercules swept Cerberus right off his feet, and effortlessly set him down as softly as a songbird

Atlas kept the world up on his back, and every day, he wondered whether he could stand it any longer

Tara Reade came out to say the man they tried to label the messiah of morality was really just another rapist.

& I don’t intend to hesitate when asked who was the stronger

Tara, like Assange, knew that carrying the truth would be the hardest labor

Tara knew that her assailant wasn’t gonna make us any safer

Knew he’s just the type of man to hand a decent foreign leader u.s printed walking papers

And knew he’d be relentless and aggressive in the war he’d wage upon her very character, that his attempts to weaken, and degrade, and embarrass her would be her only compensation

But I strongly doubt that anyone could ever have foreseen the stream of hate that came from quote-unquote Progressives and the self-styled Titans of survivor advocation


So If you really think that there’s something to be gained out of sharing that pain with the world, then you’re sorely mistaken

The Biden team just drug their feet addressing Tara’s allegations, until they had a decent list of smears, and then they aired them out on every station

And it turns out No one wants to hear the truth of who they praised as being worthy of such bloated liberal celebration

No one wants to really know the person they so valiantly defended even when it meant they had to gloat and shit all over someone braver than they’d be if given the occasion

Now Cue the faceless comment squad invasion

Cue those fuckers crawling out the woodwork to come analyze the way you wore your hair, and what you wear, like your appearance waives your rights, or that somehow, YOU’RE the reason for your situation.

Somehow, they’ve decided YOU should bear responsibility for what such monstrous men insist on doing

Somehow they’re deluded by the empty, hypocritical and useless fucking platitudes that bastard keeps on spewing

And I think it’s very telling that the best of your excuses when you try to come and justify our presidents abuses is a hearty “But, Trump!”,

In which case, I’ll remind you that you never saw the news attempt to sell you Donald Trump like he was morally upstanding, or a decent human.

But When Joe says something bigoted or ogles someone’s little kid, CNN says:
“Isn’t this refreshing? Biden’s like a mix of JFK & FDR with all the finer parts of Harry Truman”

And, Christ, I know they don’t think that we’re the brightest, but at least pretend we’ve got a couple lumens

Ask yourself if you have ever questioned what they fed you, or do you just shut your eyes, and then consume it?

Now ask yourself if you ate every one of Biden’s lies, under the guise of harm reduction and the promise of a slight improvement

And now, imagine long ago that Biden chose to show you who he really was by traumatizing you for his amusement

Now imagine that you watched him touch a Bible with those filthy hands, and then assume the power of the highest seat in all the land.

Knowing your attacker wields a global coalition born of 3-letter agencies who’ll make a life’s mission out of trying to discredit you through lies, damn lies, and collusion.

Big tech is never gonna separate from our surveillance state, fucks sakes, they’re just a breath away from total fusion

So there will come a time
where even if you see the light
your voice will never reach the sky
through all the bots, and all the noise pollution

So trust us when we tell you that the masking of abuses is perhaps this country’s oldest institution

And I know nothing nobler that facing it in honor of the truth when you know that the people holding power have been neutralizing truth since there was wet ink on the constitution

So know that Tara’s truth is something crucial to the movement

And if you see yourself a partner to the Revolution, help this country see through all the baseless propaganda through the crux of Joe’s illusions, and recognize that Tara Reade gave everything she had so she could tell us what the truth is.

Recognize the decent thing to do when someone bares their soul and shows their bruises

Is not to ask for context, or offer up your own solutions

Your job is just to listen with an honest mind and put yourself on Tara’s side a moment so you understand the path she chooses

There is no instant fame that’s worth the dragging of your name

And if that’s what you think, then you’ve a lot to learn about the kind of facts the mob can handle, and the kind that it refuses.

You’ve a lot to learn about the news,
And all it’s many uses.

Guess you’ve yet to learn the truth the news will serve is fruit from which they’ve squeezed out all the juices

And we all eat the husks and just pretend it’s full of nutrients, and isn’t really useless

The jaws of our ability to yield
Accountability are absolutely toothless

So don’t you kid yourself that any lips are being loosened

They won’t ever tell us where the bodies are, or show us where the proof is.

It’s on you to recognize the lechery our president so regularly oozes

It’s on you to muster up some honesty and ask yourself how Biden won your trust, but it’s America that loses.


Open up your eyes, and learn to recognize the bruises.
