*****'s and commies
and hardlining swammies
terrorists who'd like
to embalm me
nationalism is rising again
you look around
you don't have any friends
where's the daylight
in this dark night
what's the world coming to
I know it's not nice
not to be polite
but what am I going to do
escalation across the nation
discontentment blooms
on top of that
a plague keeps you trapped
can't even
leave your room
what can you do
what can you say
what will tomorrow bring
all we can do
is cry boo-hoo
and hope that they find
a vaccine
