This is our left hand
And this is our right
Left
Right
Left
Right
Left
Right
Left
Right
Left (let's)
Right (fight)
Left (let's)
Right (fight)
Let's fight (let's go)
How do I push away
The people I love today?
Do I tell them they're an idiot for what they believe?
Should I villainize the breadwinners for what they achieve?
Should I ridicule their faith?
Should I push on their mistakes?
I've been practicing and preaching what I know to be right
And it's fracturing and splintering my family ties
Seems I've actively been weakening my only good life
And it's actually been strengthening a passive divide
Now every evening
I dream of leaving
And letting loved ones languish in the States
No way!
In the Divided States of America
Full of lies and hate and hysteria
How can I escape?
How do I make change?
When I try, it breaks
It's hilarious!
Now divided, we sit
On devices and flit
Through media feeds that keep us chomping at the bit
They make more AdSense if we scroll all night
So they give us content that they know we'll like
Making us more alt-left and more alt-right
It's the complete absence of moral right
Why should they care if what they share makes us fight?
They shouldn't care at all
Only word they need to follow is the letter of the law
From a governmental system with plenty of flaws
200 years old!
That was way before barcodes and narcos
Man, yo, Ben Frank could never picture a smartphone!
Heh, that was even before electricity
Are you getting the point yet or are you still missing me?
Our government was made way before big tech
So now these big execs can do their biz unchecked
And roughneck their way through billies in cash flow
Before our government even wakes in their castle
Because they know our whole system is mad slow
So they can pull the strings like they're playing a banjo!
In the Divided States of America
Full of lies and hate and hysteria
How can I escape?
How do I make change?
When I try, it breaks
It's hilarious!
In the Divided States of America
Full of lies and hate and hysteria
How can I escape?
How do I make change?
When I try, it breaks
It's hilarious!
Now just because it's government and big execs
Doesn't mean we can't do our part to reconnect
Get off the internet, treat people with respect
And fact check everything you read before you react
Only thing I'll say for Trump is that he's moving fast
As he divides us more and more on his warpath
Making enemies left and right, he incites
Fights every time my family opens a device
Good night
