What's it worth
to be revolutionary
To speak with conviction
while your reality remains imaginary
Speak bigger
increase your vocabulary
Fascism's been tried before
success varied

How far are you willing to drive
if you are willing to carry a gun are you willing to die
Because you say All Lives Matter
but remain silent when a black man dies
And you say you love our military
unless it's a Muslim in camo
Because in your mind they're a vessel
meant to withstand your imaginary ammo

Spare me the details
of your distrust of science
I thought when we left the middle ages
we left ignorance behind us
Only when the last rig is dry
Our final coffer left bare
You realize how foolish you were
for loving the imp with the orange hair
