Can't Get There from Here

Everybody knows there's no clear road to paradise from here
Opinions differ on exactly how we came to lose our way
Was the knowledge lost in years before
We can't read the road maps anymore
And so all we like sheep have gone astray
Or the lawyer the banker and the oil man
Couldn't pass an infrastructure plan
Leaving heaven's roads and bridges to decay
Everybody knows there's no safe road to paradise from here
Everybody knows that all the questions here are yes or no
And all the answers turn on if your face is painted red or blue
What we ask of you in the coming strife
Love your politics more than your life
Hurry up 'cause everyone is judging you
And even if the whole world ends
All that matters is who wins
Half of us will hate you no matter what you do
Everybody knows that all the answers here are yes or no
It's just for show
Alexa tell me what must I do to be saved
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of Silicon Valley
I won't be afraid
Well I had ideals when I was young
Now I plug my ears and wag my tongue
Someone else can clean up messes that I made
And my mindfulness app will get me through
My social networks help me find what's true
And celebrities teach me how to be brave
Everybody knows you can't get there
You can't get there from here
Everybody knows there's no clear road to paradise from here
No, you can't get there from here
