Howl & Whine

They only manufacture outrage
And all the news that's fit to fake
Wounded beasts in a cage
Dishing the medicine they refuse to take
They just howl and whine
Say they're guided by the divine
Come unraveled just like twine
They just howl and whine
Gnashing teeth and rattling sabers
All the while clutching at their pearls
Harvesting the fruits of their labors
Every time a half-mast flag unfurls
They just howl and whine
Say they're guided by the divine
Come unraveled just like twine
They just howl and whine
They're always the first and the loudest
To say this country's going straight to hell
And they're also the proudest
When dumping poison right into the well
They just howl and whine
Say they're guided by the divine
Come unraveled just like twine
They just howl and whine

No Higher Ground

Enjoy the last days of empire
Another fool king's crowned
Birthers, flat earthers, and virus deniers
Where will we be when we're all drowned?
No higher ground
No higher ground
And the warriors of social justice
Call out and cancel all around
Just so long as there's virtue to signal
It's the only code to which they're bound
No higher ground
No higher ground
No higher ground
No higher ground
Enjoy the last days of empire
Another fool king's crowned
Give us this day our bread and circus
Sold for pennies on the pound
No higher ground
No higher ground
No higher ground
No higher ground

Toxic Town
04:10
|

There's runoff in the water and lead in the dirt
That's only part of the charm
It's the poisonous people that make me hurt
They're the things that do the most harm
I gaze upon a desolate landscape
Wreckage is all I survey
Oft-repeated stories of abuse and rape
Evidence never comes into play
When there are idiots to follow
Facts are hard to swallow
And even harder to keep down
The truth is the rumors
Spread like malignant tumors
In this toxic town
As soon as the corpses have been laid to rest
It's time they are exhumed
Send them to the lab for a battery of tests
It's more deadly than it was presumed
When there are idiots to follow
Facts are hard to swallow
And even harder to keep down
The truth is the rumors
Spread like malignant tumors
In this toxic town

The New Gilded Age

Bow down to the new robber barons
Behold the scheme in its violent stage
Holding empty bags yet paying their taxes
Here in the new Gilded Age
Here in the new Gilded Age
Pull yourself up by broken bootstraps
Pockets full of indignant rage
Their piss is the only thing that trickles down
Here in the new Gilded Age
Here in the new Gilded Age
The only thing in life that matters
Are the numbers at the bottom of the page
The one percent laughing to the bank now
Here in the new Gilded Age
Here in the new Gilded Age
