The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die David went jogging almost every single day If you want to talk to him that seems to be the way To do it without risking all their lives, why didn't they try? The ATF decided they would stop him in his tracks They'd let him string the longest fuse Then light it with a match And if you listen closely you can hear all the voices As they start to scream and cry The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die No-one ever thinks about it thanks to Tim McVeigh Thanks to him the ATF has gotten clean away Truth be told I don't think we'll ever question any of their lies The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die All gonna die All gonna die

You gotta pay your taxes As we blame it on the rich They won't pay their fare share We blame them for inflation I guess that life's a bitch You gotta pay your union dues To help support the fight No, we don't need an audit Don't dare call it kickbacks They're just payments in the night You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of leisure You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of luxury You voted me in office so I could be a leader The other guy's an asshole so you know that I'm a keeper You voted me in power I go to work every day But I don't do a damn thing But make fiery speeches And collect my pay You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of leisure You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of luxury You voted me in office so I could be a leader The other guy's an asshole so you know that I'm a keeper You voted me in office, there's no job that could be sweeter If you think you're getting fucked just be thankful it's not deeper

All their twists and turns, it’s a logical maze Spreading their lies day after day I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day Hear the words that they say Again and again I can’t hear all the lies that they tell All the shit that they sell It’s a world of pretend I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day Hear the words that they say Again and again I can’t hear all the lies that they tell All the shit that they sell It’s a world of pretend I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day Hear the words that they say Again and again I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day Hear the words that they say Again and again I can’t hear all the lies that they tell All the shit that they sell It’s a world of pretend I’m so sick and tired of watching the news Hearing half truths, being confused

Thirteen point eight billion years And this is what we end up with? The left and the right, two sides of a coin They push us all right over the cliff From helium and hydrogen After billions of years we end up here From helium and hydrogen If there is a god you'd think he could do it better Hypocrisy that knows now bounds Lip service to their voting base Dishonesty, deceitfulness I don't know how much more we can take From helium and hydrogen After billions of years we end up here From helium and hydrogen If there is a god... Material change is what we need A little more or a little less gravity Material change is what we need Join together and vote third party From helium and hydrogen After billions of years we end up here From helium and hydrogen If there is a god you'd think he could do it better

You pushed me down the stairs And you made me break my neck You made me so damn mad I said, “What the heck!” You never said you’re sorry You never made a peep I just thank the lord That the steps weren’t very steep If I ever learn to walk again, I know I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go If I ever learn to walk again, I swear I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs You pushed me down the stairs Yeah, you made me take the fall You broke both of my legs I couldn’t even crawl Now my mind is fuzzy It’s floating in a spiral You took a fucking video And it’s going viral If I ever learn to walk again, I know I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go If I ever learn to walk again, I swear I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs Somewhere at the bottom of the stairs I think I’m gonna die If I ever learn to walk again, I know I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go If I ever learn to walk again, I swear I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs

The Vandals were in defeat The soldiers took their daughters and wives But God took away the sun We pray to God to forgive our sins The sun did not shine Just like an eclipse As we shed a tear For the last good year 535 A 535 A 535 AD Men were not free from war Men were not free from pestilence Men were not free from death Beginning in the year 636 The sun did not shine Just like an eclipse As we shed a tear For the last good year 535 A 535 A 535 AD A most dread portent took place that year For the beams the sun shed were anything but clear It gave forth its light without brightness The sun did not shine Just like an eclipse As we shed a tear For the last good year 535 A 535 A 535 AD

A black man, a white man both get shot They pass more laws and still it won’t stop I’ve got a daughter and I’m afraid That without a gun she’ll be killed or raped Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six It’s a long battle with the government Taking our rights without consent If we have a right to self defense They can’t take our guns on a pretense Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six Best to be judged by twelve Than to be carried by six

Take a look around, tell me what you see The whole damn world is going to hell Look at yourself and don’t blame me It’s your fault if you can’t tell You vote last time (This is what we get) You vote next time (This is what we get) You vote all the time (What else did you expect?) A perpetual crisis Fires in the street you call anarchy But you don’t know what that means Voluntary action: your capacity Own yourself or they’ll intervene You vote last time (This is what we get) You vote next time (This is what we get) You vote all the time (What else did you expect?) A perpetual crisis You vote last time (This is what we get) You vote next time (This is what we get) You vote all the time (What else did you expect?) A perpetual crisis You vote last time (This is what we get) You vote next time (This is what we get) You vote all the time (What else did you expect?)

Sitting in my house day after day Nothing to do but hear the words they say They keep talking but they don't say a thing Been sitting here since winter and now it is spring Every four years we get to vote From only two options it's such a joke Don't call it flaw 'cause it's a feature An honest political is a mythical creature I'm so confused, tired of listening to Trump Sometimes I wish he would shut the fuck up His lips are moving but nothing comes out At least nothing I need to worry about Every four years we get to vote From only two options it's such a joke Don't call it flaw 'cause it's a feature An honest political is a mythical creature I, I'm tired of sitting here I, I'm tired of sitting here Sitting here Sitting here
