Two Sides
We've got an epidemic of bothsidesism
A lotta good people who don't wanna stir the pot
But we're the frog in water with heat risin' slowly killing em
So let's call this shit what it is and what it's not
This is not about a difference of opinion
Or how to best address some policy prescriptions
This is literally fact vs fiction and
How the hell we get back to the former being a given
The glow of gaslighting is so damn flattering for dabbling
In white nationalism and fascism
And I mean it - no hyperbole needed
Grab your German history of 1923 and read it
You think they're not then what have you been watching?
Just cause it got stopped don't mean they stopped plotting
The nonsense dropped upon the populous was constant
And now the whitewashing is so recockulous
We're in a battle of truth vs lies
So I guess I'm just surprised you would choose not to choose a side
But who am I to ask you to decide?
If you'd rather sit back oozing pride, like "the dude abides"
Switzerland ain't gonna cut it with the shit we're in
It's different time to get up if you give a shit
Do your bit to find the truth and deliver it
The big lie'll take the damn world if we give an inch
Just because there are two sides to a story
It don't mean that one of em ain't horseshit
And if you're married to the side that sold the big lie
Well, it's probably high time to divorce it
Look, you might think I'm being obnoxious
But I just cannot sit here and watch this
Democracy get slaughtered and not speak up to stop it
I'll keep on squawking till I'm Jiminy Cricket
All up inside your subconscious
Fuck Jan 6 and the bastards who planned it
The flame that was lit and the assholes who fanned it
The President pouring gasoline and striking matches
And anybody who secretly hoped that it would work
Hoped that it would work
Hoped that it would work
And if it's not that it's the QAnon creeps
Where for every fact there's a conspiracy
I'm certain the person holding nonsensical beliefs
Is convinced that everybody else is the fucking sheep
If someone says the earth is flat, how do you work with that?
Go berserk or sit back with a smirk and laugh
That worldview well it simply doesn't merge with facts
Unify with madness? Nah, I'd prefer to pass
The widespread lack of critical thinking
Has lead to widespread liberal drinking
How the hell can they not smell the horseshit stinking?
Or feel the all time low beneath which we're sinking?
And now virtue's a bad word, guess I better signal vice
And if I kill em with kindess I can piss em off twice
Why say something offensive and pretend it's the truth
When it's so telling that just telling the truth offends you?
Just because there are two sides to a story
It don't mean that one of em ain't horseshit
And if you're married to the side that sold the big lie
Well, it's probably high time to divorce it
A lotta good people who don't wanna stir the pot
But we're the frog in water with heat risin' slowly killing em
