I don't care if you're conservative but if Republican
Fuck it then
At the statehouse none was cuffing them
When they stormed the steps with the strap in hand
And not one cop did more than pop an Ativan
So I was with you for a year or two but I'm hearing you
And the hatred
I'm jaded from it searing through
What kind of rearing moves did your parents use
For you to be a grown adult that still parrots views
That could disparage you with verbiage changed a hair
So, you, stand up before we tear to two
I'm fucking daring you
Show that you're pro-life
And show disdain for cops that kill with no fight
No fright
Living in fear of the law
That's no life
But I don't know what it is called because lowlight
That's an understatement
Like truth locked in the basement
Look out, Ariel
You overflowed the basin

I don't care if you're a liberal but Democrats
Set us back
The Statehouse is still made of glass
We get to see these wackbags gather in class
And wonder what other brotherhood they can snip in half
They play sides
Leave ballots with this dated vibe
That only one or other is the kind that's fit to vie
I'm registered as one, but it still registers as dumb
That the only runners with a chance wouldn't lift a thumb
Unless their reputation's set to blow up to a bigger one
It's a career built on promises that linger once
Opposites take precedence in their offices
No regard for public interest on their caucuses
Just the money for ads
The mouth for talking shit
Plus the patience and the time to fucking stall and sit
We don't have time to sit around and filibuster
You fuckers took spring break while COVID gained muster

Made a mountain man out of me when the levee broke
I see how it's about to be when black people choked
No cop sees a court until the Bounty is soaked
Who needs a suspect when a bounty is close
But when this track's tread, don't miss the wheel for the spokes
Says the same kind of people craving day of the rope
And I can't find an answer that's pleasantly spoke
So this shit ain't getting solved over cans of Coke
Whichever brand of branch I damn
I have no hope
Because it's like pulling teeth to get kids to go vote
But I can't tell these teens that I blame um
They're given two options with one tried flavor
Because democracy is jocking these American kids until they're Socrates
And prime to fuck themselves until they're knocking knees with a philosophy of "long as It's not me"
Well fuck it
Let's pour out the tiered bucket
So all of ya lummox know just what I can stomach
I'm done with all isms bar constructive criticism
Just because my fist is in the air means I don't listen?
Then the point's missing
Riot a night
It's a mission
But one night more, Fox News says it's a war
With combatants set as pigs versus carnivores
And the same shit passed from Grandma's forwards
Towards now, we see this country's always had problems
Run a green zone mile when we're still hobbling
And alt right goblins wanna say we're great again
But they can't name a white person that we're greater than
Just a black President that our creator panned
At least that's how they act if you care to ask
With hands clasped and eyes covered with glass
Even Dana Carvey couldn't really bash your ass
Because you just cover your ears and hum as loud as a blast
When even GW enjoyed his whole act
Maybe if just one fuck would cross the aisle
We won't have to work so hard to teach the next child
I won't lie
Thought I had it all on file
But the last few months said I was in denial
So let me be clear for the next biblical mile
I want you to be the teacher and I'll be the child
Because I don't wanna put this mild
Feel like I nearly turned to the type to scream sieg heil
Think about it now
It only produce bile
I guess crass and vile just appealed to the pile
That I left in the voting booth to lash out at
A system that lacks empathy and class
Because you got two sides and the other is bad
How we supposed to paint issues of color with just white and black
Fuck that easel
Because Elie Wiesel
Didn't write Night so we can keep up that evil
Continue to raise your fist but stay peaceful
Because you don't need to give police a good reason to be killed
