Lyrics

I didn't know the world was ending
I didn't know God's wrath was next
I never seen that many trolls down the rabbit hole
Until I went and logged into X
I asked the man what to do with my fingers
And the man didn't disappoint
He said "I'll tell you a story
Look at that minority and point, point, point"
If peace ain't turning a profit
And love ain't making a buck
It takes two to tango
If they need a bad guy the man's gonna make one up

Man tamed down the horse
In that he saw no error
So he did the chickens and pigs
And the cows, and then
He domesticated terror
And the snowball kept a' rolling
And we can't seem to get it to stop
They're trying law and order and securing the border
But our own field grows the crop
If I ever want to see that flag up high
I'm gonna have to cut the pole in half
'Cause most of the time, most of our lives
It's been flying down at half mast

Whoa, hotels, casinos and spaceships
Teslas and tunnels are fine
Folks get too close to that big White House
And they lose their goddamn minds

Then the Navy Seal came to me
He said "Boy, I'm gonna tell you the news"
I said "Aren't you CIA?" He said "I used to"
"I used to but I still do, too"
Then we chewed our creatine gummies
And I wondered if he was lying
I said "Well, what do you know about Vegas?"
He said "What do you know about dying?"
He said "It's gonna be a bloody '25"
He said "There's gonna be some loss of life"
He gave me a one time code for 10% off
Blue Chews and collagen peptides

Whoa, hotels, casinos and spaceships
Teslas and tunnels are fine
Folks get too close to that big White House
And they lose their goddamn minds

Then a man in a big white hat came
He said "Buddy, I'm gonna fix it"
"You're gonna keep all your rights and sleep good at night"
He was buttering up my biscuits
He said "Life is like a box of chocolates"
"But you should really only eat meat"
I said "I have my doubts" but the man had gout
And that was more than I could say for me

He sent me a PDF
Said "Check the box down here"
There was a user agreement but I didn't read it
Now he's listening through my ears

Hotels, casinos and spaceships
Teslas and tunnels are fine
Folks get too close to the big White House
And they lose their goddamn minds
