lyrics

Mother / I'm dying / Caught up in this world of hate / And waste and facing violence / I'm trying to chase my happiness / Make these rose-tinted glasses fit / But all the Paxil, Zoloft, and Sarafem / Couldn't keep this facade / From wearing thin / 18 into this new millennium / With a pathological president / Who's an existential threat to the Democrats / Except when budgeting armaments / Don't equate progress with technology / Moore's Law doesn't apply to policy / Go back to 1940 / Hear Henry Wallace speak / Yet somehow Bernie's spouting "fantasy" / Let's go back to the 70’s / During the Carter presidency / The White House had solar energy / Until Reagan slashed the budgeting / And I know there's not a panacea /But there's got to be more than insanity / I want to hope but so far I just can't see / Humanity stopping repeating history / Oh, watch the Overton window shift / Watch the rise of the white nationalists / Watch the rise of the new McCarthyists / Watch me hang my head and Netflix binge / Three of the worst mass shootings in the past five months / Just "thoughts and prayers" from politicians / If you want a working government /Chart the wishes of the one percent / I'm trying to chase my happiness / Make these rose-tinted glasses fit / But all the Paxil, Zoloft, and Sarafem / Couldn't keep this facade / From wearing thin
