lyrics

Throw your perception down to the ground
And see it swallowed by the snow
Maybe the open mind is a void
Where nothing ever really grows
Maybe you're outside, and I'm in the confines of what I know
But I lost my voice out here
And without it
I am never going home


Our voice is being stolen!

Picture me, capital steps, eyes swollen,
Carrying a sign reading “We are being lied to”
If healthcare for all was a full nude,
Mitch McConnell’s only giving side-boob.

Only making promises to wave a little hope right in your face and then deny you
So pardon me if I would rather burn my fucking vote to defy you.

And I hope it makes you hate me, makes you feel like I’m just wasting any chance of bringing change
but I am not complicit in what brought us to this place.
And I will not support us being further led astray
And I don’t care the color hearse that carries us away
The filth on both the blue and red makes each a sickly gray
And it sickens me to witness just how quickly we obey
How quickly we accept the meager scraps that fall our way
Scraps supposed to last us 30 days.
Scraps that barely cover bills that can’t be paid.
Scraps that couldn’t pay for Nancy’s chocolate for a day
And all the thoughts and prayers in the world can’t fix it cause I’m drowning in my thoughts and I don’t pray.

And if this is where you tell me that’s the problem,
There’s the door, pal, thanks for staying.

And if Jills right, all you have to do is just swallow, and you can play the game.
In that case, Jill, I won’t be playing.

So how about you save your blame and try to change somebody who’s still doesn’t know which way they’re swaying?

I
Won’t
Vote
For
A
Ra
Pist
That’s
All
I’m
Saying

And when they asked if I had any last words,
Honey,
I did my impression of a spectator at Wimbledon
Back and forth back and forth
I hope that answers your question you simpleton
