lyrics

forever flipping off every trump flag,
on my way home,
daydreaming about ripping them all down
so maybe we can meet tonight at 3am,
dressed in black and ready for mayhem

you made God in your own image
not the other way around
that's why your prayers are so angry
you're always letting yourself down

dad says he's ready for a new civil war
but I've never known him to hurt a single soul
his mind's been corrupted
the way he used to warn me
would happen if I kept listening to the Notorious BIG

I won't recognize you in the colors of your confederacy
through all the smoke and fog,
I hope you don't...
I hope you don't shoot me

I swear I'm gonna write an open letter
I swear I'm gonna be so convincing
pointing out all that man's flaws
so that finally they will see
they'll wake up and apologize for being so wrong
then the sun will explode
and we will all be gone

our grandparents fought the Axis
just so fb could turn our parents' friends into fascists
so I'm forever flipping off every trump flag
on my way home
as though it makes any difference at all
