I don’t know what happened
Or when all this will end
It’s getting hard to remember
How it even began
Sitting in my dining room
And checking the box for her
Now we have this hateful piece of shit
Trying to destroy the world
As the fires to burn California
And the oceans rise over the old sea walls
He’s busy bragging he’s the most humble person who’s ever lived
And it’s all so sad, I just hate it all
But my anger is futile
I only get one vote
It seems like 40% of us
Never got on the boat
The Nazi’s are back like the 40’s
But now they’re carrying AR-15’s
And the orange slob tells them to stand down and stand by
And I’m stuck here, just shivering
we’re all waiting for the sign
it isn’t coming
we’re all waiting for the right time
it isn’t coming
i was holding onto hope
but now that feels like it was years ago
i was feeling rearranged
i didn’t realize how much had changed
i don’t think I’m doing as well as i should be
but I’m better than I could be
and that’s not nothing
i wish there was something
aside from everything that's changing
to tell me how far we’ve drifted
to help me see what we end up with
the things we had aren’t gone
you see your family from across the lawn
the memories will slowly fade
all of this is tomorrow’s yesterday
take the kids out for a walk
even if it’s just around the block
got to get out of the garage
so many things that I’ve been putting off
are you tired like i am?
tired of the same thing?
are you hungry like i am?
hungry for anything?
we erased all the distance
then put it right back in
we listened to what we wanted (to be true)
i thought that greed was a sin?
we can’t make this up as we go along
somebody has to be in charge
we aren’t doing any good if we only get things wrong

i don't see how listening is heresy
i just want to be okay
while you’re scared that you won’t be free
this isn’t forever
even my 4 year old gets that
you can’t follow directions
or you’re too selfish to care about me
i remember when the days were shorter
and spring was still in bloom
i remember when life was normal
before i ever heard of Zoom
before we were confined to our houses
doses of constant fear
it’s been 6 months of pacing around my living room
and the end doesn’t seem near
but that’s what you get
when the president is an idiot
down in New Zealand the whole thing’s over
and they already got back to work
they did what scientists said
their prime minister's thoughtful
i’d pick her over this jerk
so that’s where we are
we haven’t moved the needle very far
no no i get it, the lady had her emails,
you think her husband's debaucherous
i guess that's true but you picked a scumbag anyway
so tell me how is this better for us?
don't worry it's okay
i know you don't even believe the stuff you say
when will it be over, a thing of the past
something we tell stories about
i’m trying to be patient but i’m losing it fast
all i can do is get angry at people
who don’t know what they’re talking about
and it makes me want to curl up
it makes me want to rip my hair out
it comes on slow and then all happens at once
just like everything always does
you can try your best to change everything it was
but you’ll only end up plodding through the mud
you make it seem so hard
to imagine we might not be exceptional
i don’t want to hear the stories anymore
they always end with us so proud, victorious in war
sometimes now i question what's it all been for
it doesn’t seem like we’re living up to the promise anymore
and i’m realizing we never did
people out in the streets shouting to be heard
but we’ve seen this all before, the vision isn’t blurred
batons on the old men, batons on the young women
take a beating for your rights, it’s absurd
about
Just more songs about not being able to go anywhere or do anything. Also about the police beating the shit out of peaceful protestors. To download the album for free, just download each track individually.
