lyrics

Leave on, leave on, leave on
Leave the lights on

Keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep the fight up

Never let them see ya without the mask on

Time to get on in some pieces of the action



I’m so tired of all this indecision

As if my pets are leaving on a mission

To save the world from political shame

My dogs and cats will never be the same



They say that there’s a light end of the tunnel

I’ll believe it when I see it, I ain’t gonna

Take no stock in stupid agro-wishes

It pains us to waste food that’s so delicious



Try and stop these monsters from producing

They’re fuckin and they’re breeding like it’s doomsday

Well put that shiny thing back in your pocket

Mommy’s image ain’t only picture hanging in your locker



Cry for me an ocean cry a river

Cry for all the children in the giver

We immune to this and that forlorn diseases

It don’t matter, She will come and go as she pleases



These here kids with they’re computer games it’s sickening

They were much useful when they’re skulls were thickening

Read the riot act and jump into your cars

Suppress the vote with bottled water and cigars



Jesus Christ himself he couldn’t plan this

And mother Mary she wouldn’t understand this

The saints in heaven neglected to preserve us

Whatever did we do to deserve this?



Jealousy is racing down the highway

Anger and resentment clog the byways

Listen with your ears against the ground

What you hear is what we fear - it’s the dark sound



Triumph of the will it is their passion

Screaming from the rooftops of their houses

A mob to lynch the black and brown and poor

They will smile and wedge their foot inside your front door



Claim that they is looking for their daughter

Lying that they lender a drink of water

Don’t waste a precious second or your breath

They are a virus as we spiral to our deaths



Goodbye to the dreams of resurrection

Hello to another rigged election

America is grinding to a halt

Tombstone reads “well shit, it ain’t my fault”
