about

Perhaps my bleakest political song to date?!

lyrics

My god we are screwed. What are we gonna do?
Only makes sense at all with my head through a wall.
Things are coming apart. Now it's too late to start
to save the world that we knew. What are we gonna do?

I remember a time full of reason and rhyme
but I've come to believe those are false memories
Try to use common sense, tell me how far you get.
That world's over and through. What are we gonna do?

Half the people are dumb. Half of them are stubborn.
Half the people are mean or in between all three.
People can't be redeemed 'cause once they've picked their team
they can never be moved. What are we gonna do?

At this drain we're circling, freedoms hemorrhaging,
and villains doing their worst no matter who it hurts,
we can foresee the day the planet wipes us away.
Are these problems all moot? What are we? We are screwed.
