Modern Day Patriot

Inanimate, a slab of rock
Instigate as people walk
In defense of a fairy tale
I think its time to tip the scales
Being defiant to what makes you squirm
Ignorant idiot!
Looking inside to kill the lies you learn
Modern day patriot!
You're obstinate, your heads a block
The USA's a laughing stock
Real patriots will break the chains
That's holding back progressive change

Anti-fascist Backlash

The same intolerance ingrained in your brain
From generations of unevolved humans
There's is no fucking maybe there is no this or that
There's only fucking this there will never be that
You could have been anyone but you were born you
You chose to stay the same and not think it through
You seek out and interpret, bend the truth to validate
The fear within you, you mask with hate
Anti! Fascist! Backlash! Groundless accusations!
So why do we have to have the conversation again!
You know there is a suffering its something you can see
You know you turn a blind eye this is your bigot disease
You seek out and interpret, bend the truth to validate
The fear within you, you mask with hate

Sacrifice

There will be cancer, there will be dementia
There will be tragic accidents
There will be sadness, there will be pain
But shouldn't we try to change the things we can?
Sacrifice! You don't know the meaning of the word
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Sacrifice! You never had to make the choice
To put another before yourself
There will be hardships, there will be loss
There will be fights and there will be a cost
There will be times of uncertainty
When your forced to face reality
There are some things about the human condition that nobody can change but we should change the things that we can. There does not need to be police brutality. There does not need to be people murdered in the streets. Or tear gassing patriots protesting peacefully. Statues glorifying the failed confederacy? These are the thing to do not need to be. These are the things that should not be. These are the things that should not be. Sacrifice.

Conflate

Were you cool in high school? Was it just a song a dance
You grew up to go alt right, and make a xenophobic stance
Conviction you don't got, just like to stir the pot
Another mindless drone from the comfort of you home
You're just a devils advocate
Yeah, you're just a keyboard warrior addict
You're just a devils advocate, you conflate
Bullshit you defend, you call on your straw men
Manipulate the facts to fit your narrative
All the songs you sang and all the bands you saw
Did it ever mean anything at all?
No transition
