lyrics

The American Abyss

I don't believe that Hillary has the stamina
The stamina
She doesn't have the stamina
You need tremendous stamina

Long guns and bear spray spring from small hands and rape
Spray on tan and thin skin beget hate and replicate
Viagra and Cialis
Stamina and malice
Drink deep from that foul chalice do the flaccid and the fake

Spectacle is truth
And faith is fact
Spewing lies as false wit
From the bottomless pit

Children lie in cages with their parents flown away
Languishing on floors
Sick and afraid
Indigenous and legit
From before there was a border
Drawn by the hand of the European hoarder

Attractive abstractions
Excuse our sins
Until the rule of law is replaced
By the regime of myth

You are fake news
False and fake
False and fake
It's all fake news
False and fake
False and fake
I don't like that

Spectacle is truth
And faith is fact
Spewing lies as false wit
From the bottomless pit

We need to build a wall
And it has to be built quickly
I don't know, maybe I want something else
I want more than a wall
The wall just got ten feet higher
Look at those hands
Are they small
If they're small
Something else must be small

I know words
I have the best words
