about

Wrote this on Feb 1 as my first song for February Album Writing Month, and while I don't usually post works in progress, I thought folx might appreciate this one.

lyrics

Red pill, storm the Hill, down the rabbit hole
Nonstop Q-drops,
Enjoy the show
It's too late for the deep state
Where we go one we go all
Fuck the norm, we are the storm
Time to climb the wall

It's nice to breathe, isn't it?
Said the juggler to the thief
Walking DC streets in the light of day
Ten yards ahead of the Beast
Oh, you can wear red hats and talk big in chat
How you surrounded that campaign bus
But nothing you say matters today
Cuz the future belongs to us

In the dark night do you feel right
Or is there something that you missed
When you climb aboard sure you know the score
In the grip of Thanos' fist
You been talking loud with your MAGA crowd
About crapping on the Senate floor
Yeah the world can tell you're mad as hell
And you're not gonna take it any more

It's nice to unclench your jaw, isn't it
Said Lincoln to the GOP
Wavin' goodbye wheels up for Florida
Finally free
Oh, you've been down so long it looks like up to you
And you just learned to adjust
But nothing you say matters today
Cuz the future belongs to us

Got a space laser and a cold Spätlese
And my phaser set to stun
I'm done cringing now I'm just bingeing
Watching the little piggies run
I been sleepin' long and deep and
Better than the last four years
We're still in the shit but we're shoveling it
And I'm managing my fears

It's nice to chill, isn't it?
Said the bodhisattva to the press
To go for hours without checking your phone
Able to catch your breath
They scream and hype
In giant type
About the evil and treasonous
But nothing they say matters today
Cuz the future belongs to us
Nothing they say matters today
The future belongs to us
(rpt and fade)
