about

On the off chance anyone doesn't get it, this is about the republican party. Both sides aren't "just as bad" and haven't been for a long, long time.

Proceeds from the sale of this track will be donated to campaigns and organizations dedicated to ridding the United States and the world of fascism.

lyrics

They want you to be sick
Because it’s easier to control the weakened
They want you soaked in toxins
It’s easier to oppress the poisoned
They want you worn and torn
Because it’s easier to fleece the weary

It’s a war on me / It’s a war on you

They want you to be poor
Because it’s easier to condemn the hungry
They want your tongues cut out now
It’s easier to ignore the silent
They want you to be numb
Because it’s easier to crush the hopeless

It’s a war on me / It’s a war on you

They want you to be dumb
Because it’s easier to exploit the mindless
They want you chained to hate now
It’s easier to distract the hate-filled
They want you at each other’s throats
Because it’s easier to rob you blind when

You think your enemy is your friend
You think your enemies are your friends
But they're not
