THE WOODMAN AND THE FARMER
Crawling out, no more disguise
The worst of all of us emboldened by the lies
When facts don't matter it's no surprise
Sound bites and headlines bounce the ball around your eyes
Let me run away as far as I can go
Let me run away as far as I can go
This boy is ignorance. This girl is want
Beware the boy, he'll be the ending of us all
Let me run away as far as I can go
Let me run away as far as I can go
'Cause it's suicide to stay here where we are
Is it all a bad dream?
Demagogues and kings
Here to make you great again
Building walls and taking names
Making sure to fan the flames
And it's all too familiar
Give us your wired, your angry poor
Huddled masses crouched in fear behind the door
When they go higher, we go low
Just a hundred forty characters more
Let me run away as far as I can go
Let me run away as far as I can go
'Cause it's suicide to stay here where we are
Is it all a bad dream?
Demagogues and kings
Here to make you great again
Building walls and taking names
Making sure to fan the flames
How low can we go?
How far can we fall?
How far can we fall?
