Guitar Songs (Like These)

'Hey don't you want to join the march on the 21st?'
'Hey don't you want to write posts about the executive orders?'
Well I answer with a rather apathetic 'not really'
I am just an impartial observer
Who's trying to picture what my daughter's history textbook
Will say about 2016
Conveying a path as plain as day to 2020
When we find ourselves immersed in world war 3
While I'm still trying to navigate the DMV

Please don't hand me a gun
Cause I don't hate anyone
I am not an adult
And I have no opinions
If I'm thrust into crisis then I'll probably run
If I'm trusted by anyone then we're probably fucked
I don't know where my grandfather and namesake
Got the bravery to sail to Normandy
At the ripe old age of eighteen
Cause I am now twenty-three
And I'm as useless as can be
Well I sure picked a good time to record guitar songs like these

Aren't I contributing?
Well I'm a progressive too
I love all terrorists
And poor, white, blue collar workers are stupid and fucked up the country
Am I doing this right?
Arcade Fire guide me
Well this is indie rock in 2017

Let's take another trip back to my college years
Not introspective and possessing of no fears
Job was a fantasy
School was reality
Easy as shit and sometimes girls would talk to me

Pitchfork and CoS didn't post about Trump daily
Pissed off white coders didn't rant on my news feed
I had conversations that didn't devolve
Into circle jerks lamenting the state of humanity
I'd never seen depression from the inside but still cried
I'd never seen any real life but still was afraid to die
I was in it for killing four lokos four nights a week
Now I'm in it so thick I wanna forget how to speak
