Living in a time where life is threatened at every moment
Where we have a doomsday clock
Telling us when all existence will end
The Climate Emergency
Nuclear Proliferation
A great pandemic

No wonder we have so many people on drugs
Self-medicating
The neo-liberal model of economics has left us no alternative
It is an economy based on a loss of meaning
A loss of meaning for our culture
Here in the United States

Here in the United States
And around the world
We have been alienated from nature
We have been alienated from others
We have been alienated from our work
And worst of all
We have been alienated from ourselves
This way of being
The consumer way of being
Holds no real purpose

Why do you think we have mass shootings
This general feeling of nihilism has its consequences
The young see it
They feel it coming
What is happening now
Only proves their convictions to life

So what the **** do we do
I say
We fight like hell
We fight by not giving in
By seeing that neighbor as a friend
Not an enemy
You see those people suffering on the tv screen
Not as those people
But our people

**** the rich
Until we
The working class
The middle class
The poor and forgotten class
Share one unifying idea
We are forever doomed

If we don’t wake up and realize the waters been heated up
And it’s getting ready to boil
Many more people will suffer
while all the gazillionaires
Holed up in their cozy little bunkers
Watch all of us perish
Like smoke in the wind
Snuggled up to their television screen
