Song Lyrics

I never thought I'd see this bullshit again
To come of age in the '80s was bad enough
We were marginalized and demonized
I watched a lot of my generation die

Welcome back to American crisis
No telling what the price is

Wake up every day to see a nation in flames
We click and we tweet
And we spread these tales of blame

Here's the newest American crisis
Thanks to evangelical ISIS

People suffer in the streets each day
While you take a little change
From the offering tray

It's another American crisis
You can see how the lives divide us
World turning darker every day
In a fucked up USA
Can you look in the mirror
And tell me everything's alright?
This American crisis
Keeps me wide awake at night

You're one of us
Or one of them
If you're one of them
Don't come near me again

Ringing in my head only goes away
When I yell all the things that I shouldn't say
Ringing in my head never goes away

Pro-life
Pro-life
Until you make it in someone else's wife
You'll be struck down in your house of corruption

Free speech
Free speech
Got stolen by a pack of thieves
This American crisis
Keeps me wide awake at night

You're one of us
Or one of them
If you're one of them
Don't come near me again

Silence was death
Never forget
Silence was death
Silence
