Nobody move
Kill off all the libraries
And clean out all the schools
Acknowledgement is pornographic knowledge to refuse
Yeah they barely turn a profit
So we'll punish them with rules
Republican
I've got a swimmer to abuse
Nobody move
It's policy, the teachers are
Compelled to out the teens
Make laws against protected classes
Build theocracy
Yeah we'll further buy the brain drain
And accuse of CRT
As seen on TV
With no idea what it means
Don't tread on me
It's Taliban America
Oh the humanity
Oh the caucasity
MO, I'm ashamed in ya
HTML hacking
At least you have your caverns and weed
Nobody move
The pendulum's off balance
And this country's a disgrace
It grips the wheel
Ellipses inching back at breakneck pace so
Show Me progress
Probably twist the process
Keep 'em in their place
Won't bottom out
When that's the target of the race
Don't Show Me your face
Lawsuits for superintendents
To keep kids dumb or dead
Hold others down cause you're jealous
And easily misled
Fuck your ideals, you menace
Anniversary 2022
I've got no time for zealots
And I ain't got no time for you

Ghosts
Read the headlines
Feign surprise
Read the headlines
Feign surprise
Can you really say that you didn't see the horizon advertised
Six, six, six from the Court deserve coat wire hanger soundings
Anachronistic bastards, burn, their sickness is astounding
Fuck everyone who voted Trump, I hope you're fucking happy
Your kids get shot at lunch, value the party of the family
Republicans, this blood is on your hands
Disgusting pigs, these lands are not your lands
Conservatives, abhorrently pre-planned
No consequence for the terrorist white man
Bomb that shit now
Every accusation from the GOP is a confession
Everlasting sin into theocracy isn't a lesson
Pray to the ghosts of the progress thrown
By the wayside
Lost are the lands I roamed
Pride melts away into sheer disgust
And I'll wave to my savings as they turn to dust
Time marches forward
Reds about face
Discard prior notions
Simply a disgrace
They stole our future
Reinstated the past
Oppress in every way to make the power trip last
Republicans, this blood is on your hands
Disgusting pigs, these lands are not your lands
Conservatives, abhorrently pre-planned
No consequence for the terrorist white man
Bomb that shit now

Vacate the area
Chicxulub in a minute
Clocks ticking, ya hear
Yeah we all need a little more time
There's nothing you can't leave behind
I couldn't get away
10km for the crater
Not to mention the waves
Well I could have used a little more time
Fall into fossilized lime
Guess I needed something to bring me back to earth
Yes I mean that, I still love you, but know it hurts
You can say you didn't want this, but that's just worse
You empowered them, this guilt was clearly earned

Tell Your Mother

My shaking hand grips the phone
I try to keep my voice low
I am so disappointed
But barely surprised
It's not like they didn't warn us
They made it their chorus
The fascists implored us
To limit our rights
Caught in the middle of a savage backwards slide
Lost just a little bit of that paternal pride
Well what do you know
It's just as they said it'd be
Something you helped make
Now lay in your bed, don't sleep
So tell your mother that she's subhuman in your mind
It seems autonomy is sacrificed so the Second can survive
Oh no no no no no
I couldn't get you to change
Fun conversations but the end finally came
Oh
The consequence of your vote
She's just eleven years old
We should probably avoid
Instead of doubling down
We can agree that I'm seething
But this bears repeating
I'll never believe you
If our votes cancel out
Hopefully now you'll finally open up your eyes
This is your chance to show you understand what's right
Well what do you know
It's just as they said it'd be
Something you helped make
Now lay in your bed, don't sleep
So tell your mother that she's subhuman in your mind
It seems autonomy is sacrificed so the Second can survive

Melting Down

I found the element 118
I think I'll call it Ninovium
I set the timers, can't wait to see
All of the carnage that comes of them
I took the power from the red wave
I'm barely doing anything
End hibernation, policy play
Think of the votes that nets for me
I love the panic, circle and blame
Infighting amongst extremism
Quick, buy a mirror, I'm much the same
Not too receptive to reasoning
I need a weapon to project strength
Armor to hide insecurities
Fear paralyzes, bindings and chains
Out-groups established as enemies
Lost in a haze of mentions
Don't disagree, potential is lost
I lost the place of ok
Long past the melting point
I feel a bubbling rage
Welcome the Corium
They only care to back up the blue
When that same blue is beating black
Guns for the market, guns for the zoo/Zou
Don't let that tiger fire back
I spent the decade living with snakes
I think it's time for punishment
I'll ask Echidna if she feels the same
Argus, a change of government
Lost in a haze of mentions
Don't disagree, potential is lost
Hideous before you're away
Idiots made to obey
All the cash you've blown
But you're never gonna know
All the stacks you've made
When your legacy's betrayed

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

We don't understand it
Vengeance of the planet
The liquid makes 'em dumb somehow
The Devil's not to blame
So don't invoke his name
God's a weakened silhouette down south
It's Taliban America
Oh you know that I'm ashamed in ya
No, until the threats follow you home
Politic of pests swallows you whole
Couldn't get enough
Illustrious example made to show
Pedestrians are shackled to the road
Potentially the same, the fall of Rome
The lead weighs down their brains and blood and bones
Water people
Usher in the decay
Water people
Plug the past in and play
Water people
No one asked you to stay
Water people
Now you have it your way
Take an iron to those
Old wrinkles and folds
Let the cerebellum steer the ride
We won't hear their answer
No, it's never enough
No panning out
No flakes of facts to find
Oh
It's Taliban America
Oh you know that I'm ashamed in ya
Politic of pests swallows you whole
Trod on sick and poor to wrest control
Couldn't get enough
You can't extract the message from the drone
Unless it's spelled with neon overtones
The streetlights outline the disaster zone
Illustrious example takes you home
Water people
Usher in the decay
Water people
Plug the past in and play
Water people
No one asked you to stay
Water people
Now you have it your way

Dumb reactionary
Vary up the drums
March along
Goose stepping
Stepping
Brownshirt scum
Go
Go
No I got more shit to wreck
Another substation, targeted drag
Yeehadists run when the guns fire back
They'll kick him in the head
Pigs do nothing at best
You'll find their ranks overlap all the same
Support the cause, barely punish or blame
Narrative control
No surprises
No sense of pride
Blessing
Blessing
Bootstrap life
Unjustified lesson
Lesson
Homicide
Go
