lyrics

I woke up this morning seeing red, and now I’m blue
Neanderthals are at the polls and I’ll be the first rat off this ship

You look in the mirror like what you see?
And you say why can’t all the leaders look like me?
I look at the tangled masses led to slaughter

And we’re fucked

There are silver backs in the white house pounding their chests
And throwing shit
Their sticks and stones are breaking bones
And seeds they’ve sown are germinating

You look in the mirror like what you see?
And you say why can’t all the leaders look like me?
I look at the tangled masses led to slaughter

The system isn’t broken
We’ll shut the world right out
My spirits stay unbroken
Cause I know
I’m not a fucking hick
I’m not a fucking good ol’ boy with a little dick
Throwing missiles to prove I’m not daddy’s little boy

I look in the mirror like what I see?
