Lyrics
War & taxes Fake news alternative facts
Watch your neighbors taken away Rights erased
Sam & Clarence the blame
Religion taught in public schools They don't play by the rules
Fathers deported to Zimbabwe
ICE shot another mother today
(Bridge)
Head high don't embrace the darkness
Don't retreat in fear
Eyes and ears open
It is what it is
This is the way that it is
For now we must learn to live with it
Sad times when laws don't mean a thing
You don't know what the night will bring
That's just the way it is Why can't we live and let live
Hatred misogyny and sorrow
And God knows what happens tomorrow
Politics of racism & hate
Back to the good old days they say
They want a war parade
First Amendment what does it say
Truth is on trial The enemy is the press
Flag upside down Nation in distress
(Bridge)
Missiles fly but they're running out
No one even knows what the war is about
Now's your time to take a stand I'm all talked out
(Chorus)
That's just the way it is
We're going back to the moon
Don't have enough to fill my gas tank anymore What am I gonna do?
(Repeat chorus & fade out)
