Welcome to the New Normal
When we first started dying, it was just another day, oh, yeah
When they first started lying, sayin' this plague would soon fade away, oh
And the death toll mounted, while the leaders dragged their feet oh
With the truth discounted, only lies could then compete, oh
Some say that things will never be the same
And we have only ourselves to blame
And if these words of mine sound sad and apathetic
when the ship of state is slowly sinking down
I'm just hoping that they're not somehow prophetic
When there's no one left to save us if we drown
Just take a look around, welcome to the new normal
When we first started dying, we all hid ourselves away, oh yeah
When we first stopped trying, to stay safe, and we all went out to play, oh yeah
All the planes were grounded, with our leaders in retreat, oh
We were all confounded by the rhetoric, and tweets, oh
They fiddled long enough to feed the flames
And we were pawns in that two faced game
And so I'm taking time to point this naked truth out
Please forgive my blunt assessment of this scheme
Yet they clearly dropped the ball, and there is no doubt
That its time understand just what this means
I'll say it clear and clean, welcome to the new normal
Maybe time will heal us in the end
When the hatred fades and darkness runs away
And our broken hearts and souls begin to mend
When the dawn of love breaks through and comes to stay
Until that day, welcome to the new normal
When they first started lying, sayin' this plague would soon fade away, oh
And the death toll mounted, while the leaders dragged their feet oh
With the truth discounted, only lies could then compete, oh
Some say that things will never be the same
And we have only ourselves to blame
And if these words of mine sound sad and apathetic
when the ship of state is slowly sinking down
I'm just hoping that they're not somehow prophetic
When there's no one left to save us if we drown
Just take a look around, welcome to the new normal
When we first started dying, we all hid ourselves away, oh yeah
When we first stopped trying, to stay safe, and we all went out to play, oh yeah
All the planes were grounded, with our leaders in retreat, oh
We were all confounded by the rhetoric, and tweets, oh
They fiddled long enough to feed the flames
And we were pawns in that two faced game
And so I'm taking time to point this naked truth out
Please forgive my blunt assessment of this scheme
Yet they clearly dropped the ball, and there is no doubt
That its time understand just what this means
I'll say it clear and clean, welcome to the new normal
Maybe time will heal us in the end
When the hatred fades and darkness runs away
And our broken hearts and souls begin to mend
When the dawn of love breaks through and comes to stay
Until that day, welcome to the new normal
