How many times must the pendulum swing
'Till the left and the right can agree on a thing
'Till the Overton window stops vacationing
With the media sophists and the radical wings
Until everyone knows, that as history goes
We gave up the truth and made narrative King
Until everyone knows, that as history goes
There's no guarantee that we're self correcting
The real threat at hand, can't be Orange Man
And if you thought it was that's a TDS thing
Because "Literally ****** resides in Beijing
But in 21 came that pendulum swing
Once a centrist, gone fishing, a lucidity thing
Too tired, too old and misunderstanding
How to rule in a world that's made narrative King
Until everyone knows, that as history goes
We gave up the truth and made narrative King
Until everyone knows, that as history goes
There's no guarantee that we're self correcting
Now the year's 25 and you know what I'll sing
Is an empire born or an old one dying?
Can't anyone see? Are they all in hiding?
What we've wrought, since we've gone and made narrative King
The real threat at hand, might be Orange Man?
And if I think he is that's a TDS thing
But this time the sophists were paid by Putin

Congratulations for getting to the end. Sung to the tune of Irish folk music.
