Alternative facts
Alternative facts
War is peace is pepsi relax
Two minute hate
Makes america great
Drop the bombs over chocolate cake
It doesn't matter
The monsters are waiting
Outside again
Saying "suck it up" and
Ripping the safety
From your skin
They figured out a long time ago
You don't need to have a bullet hole
To love big brother
Arrogance and ignorance
Is the only thing
That makes any sense
There's no such thing
As doublespeak when
Everybody's their own thought police
It doesn't matter
The corporations
Ain't picking sides
They're lacing up their boots
To bring their
Imaginations to life
They figured out a long time ago
You don't need to have a bullet hole
To love big brother
I sell you and you sell me our
New happy life on cell phone screens
All of you say
You want the truth then
You follow whoever fakes the news
It doesn't matter
This must be the world
You wanted for your kids
Or else you wouldn't have
Done any of the bullshit
That you did
You figured out a long time ago
You don't need to have a bullet hole
To love big brother

Hope

Hope died today in the asylum
Having gone insane trying
To be the last one left alive
Trying to live up to some phrase
Written on the back of a park bench
In some fleeting movie on channel 5
Today hope died
Hope died today in the asylum
While faith was out making signs
And yelling at everyone he knows
Love was in a cop car bleeding
Picked up for being drunk and speeding
Down the wrong side of the road
Today we lost hope
Faith and love would visit the asylum
And never notice hope was struggling for air
They'd just and laugh and say,
"Hey why aren't you smiling?"
As if they weren't the ones who put him there
Hope died today in the asylum
Everyone was outside crying
By the time the press arrived
Faith stood up to make a statement
And love was lying on the pavement
Unsure of the time
Today hope died
Can't happen here

Shadows

Sun and fun
And radar guns
In the shadows
Dark-colored skin
No witnesses
In the shadows
Take you from your home
Just for show while
In the shadows
Down the road
A man unknown
Laughs as he reloads
In the shadows
Thief in the night
In broad daylight
From the shadows
Dogs are wagged
While toes are tagged
In the shadows
Passing laws with
Words of straw while
In the shadows
Changing hands
At their command
Everything going to plan
In the shadows
You think they don't
But your kids they know
About the shadows
The screens of smoke
And the way you cope
With the shadows
How you tow the line
Just to survive while
In the shadows
Sight unseen
You're on your knees
Praying to some screen
For your bread and circus
And corporate always knows
Every time they get nervous
They can always call dc
And get customer service
While you're sitting in your church
Looking simply stunning
Darwin and Rand in the car
With the motor running
In the shadows

No Way Home

Living our way
No other way
Living this way
It's the only way
We know
Living our way
In this state
Living this way
With this face
Everything
Like a mistake
Or a lifeboat
Coming too late
With no way home
No way home
Climb a stairway
To nowhere
You live our way
You tend to stay there
Living our way
Understand this
Living our way
And we're stranded
With no way home
No way home

Giving Way

Chaos has now knocked down
What was keeping you safe
Barged in the door
Knocked you to the floor
As you prayed
So you had best acquiesce
Here's a flag you can wave
Turning spirits into ghosts
As you run to the place
You fear the most
One side in ashes
The other in flames
One side desperate
The other insane
Telling the truth
Don't make it out of the gate
The music's good enough to dance to
But the ground is giving way
The millions on the mall got
All the guns they could grab
And formed a mob whose job
Was to find their long lost dad
They know for a fact he'll come back
And he'll pick up the tab
Now snake oil lines down every street
Same old program, new repeats
One side in ashes
The other in flames
One side desperate
The other insane
All united under the company name
The music's good enough to dance to
But the ground is giving way
Turning spirits into ghosts
As you run to the place
You fear the most
One side in ashes
The other in flames
One side desperate
The other insane
This is the last hurrah
No time to complain
The music's good enough to dance to
(but the ground is giving way)
There's no more people
Only workers and bosses
There's no more people
Only profits and losses
There's no more future
Only updated pasts
We've learned nothing
Now the die has been cast
The ground is giving way
