This song is all about the craziness in our country these days. There are so many issues facing so many people that I just felt like I had to say something about it. I've never written lyrics before so it was a great learning experience for me.
lyrics
Verse
Plastic Islands, hurricanes, the world gets warmer every day
Angry protests in the streets, 400 years of bills to pay
We should emphasize presidential lies paralyze
People celebrate ignorance and hate, Home of the Brave
The world's most wealthy country, How come I feel so poor today?
Inside of me, so much anxiety
chorus
So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight
We've got a lot of work to do, Together we'll get through all right
verse
Please don't stand so close to me, and wear a mask and wash your hands
Me too victims wonder why, why can't they keep it in their pants
Voter rights attacked, alternate facts, can't relax
Putin doesn't lie, he's a super guy, Land of the Free
The world's most wealthy country, how come it seems so poor to me?
Inside of me, so much anxiety
Chorus
So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight
We've got a lot of work to do, Together we'll get through all right
So fight the fight to make it right, but give yourself a break tonight
There's only so much you can do, so here's to me and you all right
Facebook envy, greed is everything, science isn't real, Jewish space lasers, satanic pedophiles, what are bone spurs anyway?
