lyrics

i try not to really care
but even if it’s the lesser of two evils, it’s still fucking evil
i try not to take it there
not everything’s about politics, i’ve been told that
but it really seems like it now
they say you can still be friends with someone with different views
but it’s hard to be friends with someone who doesn’t give a shit about you

the political climate now’s a hurricane
and i just can’t stand by when you’re leaving human beings out in the rain
where’s your compassion, man?
where’s that Christlike grace?
you only care about people like you and that’s insane

i try not to judge everyone
but i wouldn’t do this shit, are you kidding?
i’ve got some empathy, for god’s sake
but i get it, you think it’s fun to scream about how the libtards will take your guns away
‘cause you’re scared shitless
i’m getting sick of you, everyone else is, too
pretty soon this world we’ve got, it won’t favor you

the political climate now’s a hurricane
and i just can’t stand by when you’re leaving human beings out in the rain
where’s your compassion, man?
where’s that Christlike grace?
you only care about people like you and that’s insane

the political climate now’s a hurricane
we’ve gotta be the ones to make sure those fucked up structures get washed away
we can make this better, there’s still another way
but that’s gonna mean we’ve gotta do something
