lyrics

Everything’s on hold this year
Its even worse than it appears
On blasted heath sits King Lear
Oh where’s the kingdom now

The stakes were high and then they grew
The vilest prophesies came true
The evil spirits stick like glue
Poisoning our sacred cows

The orange man has lost his mind
His fools they got out just in time
Their replacements haven’t learned their lines
We’ve died on opening night

There’s a plague on all our lands
when good men have refused to stand
while the devil issues his commands
and smiles in the spotlight

in a world that smells of burning tires
government troops light Reichstag fires
to squeeze an election from flames grown higher
the fascist plan once more

to fool the fools in their red hats
so they don’t see aristocrats
who blame the victims and call them rats
in the emerging civil war


their epitaph will be written plain
this was the era of trump insane
the truth will hit like hard hard rain
to highlight all their sins

and on that day we hope comes soon
maybe in January, in the afternoon
my spirit will rise like a big balloon
as the era of light begins

Everything’s on hold this year
But maybe there’s an end to fear
There’ll be a smiles instead of tears
When decency finally wins
