The masks are off when the hoods aren’t on
Your rhetoric’s so clear when the pretense is gone
You’re not even trying to hide
You think you’re a victim when others succeed
Your thinly veiled ways built only on greed
And could it be
That the problem is within
If the anger you feel
Is because the color of skin
You’re not even trying to hide
Your persecution fetish is showing

Keep It

It’s a slippery slope from cells to slaughter
Blood on the hand of someone’s daughter
If we don’t take control, this chaos will reign
So we’ve got to act, as much as we’re pained
It’s a dirty job but we’re the ones to do it
We’re His lambs and He always knew it
We alone will decide what is best for you
But we can be trusted through and through
All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you
Thirty-five hundred on a trip to New Mexico
Had to make the journey 'cause the Abbott said No go
One state over and they say we're all loco,
Bounties on the doctors, driving women to KO
All my family needs, all my family bleeds,
No one knows the science because no one ever reads.
Can't escape the system 'cause we're dead before the deed
One election away when we vote in all the greed
I know that this may seem extreme
Like you’re trapped inside the worst of dreams
But we know what’s best, every life is blessed
Even if we’ll never help you with the rest
It’s a dirty job but we’re the ones to do it
We’re His soldiers and He always knew it
We alone will decide what is best for you
But we can be trusted through and through
Even if the majority don’t agree,
Our hearts are in the best place they could be
All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you
All we want you to do
Is keep it if even it kills you

Your Static Station

Who would have thought that we could make it so?
Though you’re hurt the most, you’re last in line to know
You defend my right to keep you down
Though cheer up friend, and now you lose that frown
Because assuredly something will trickle down
You defend my right to keep you down
Your station will never change
We will see to it
You defend my right to keep you down

The End Of Civility

In these de-united states
That you helped create
Vulgarity is the only game you’ll entertain
When you need to tell the world your every complaint
But the rules never apply when you decide to play
You lie, cheat, and steal to try to hold the sway
And I’d love to try to work this out
We’ve got common ground, I have no doubt
But you have lost the ability
We have reached the end of civility
You never gave a fuck about values or faith
Just as long as the power stays where it stays
In these de-united states
That you helped create
You trade ideals for guns
A new liberty’s sons, so you think
And I’d love to try to just talk to you
Whatever the problem, we could work it through
But you have lost the ability
We have reached the end of civility
We have reached the end of civility
We have reached the end of civility
