On the big wing span of your best laid plans A world that ain't worth knowing in the palm of our hands We tried putting the blame on misunderstanding Village in flames, earthquake, crash landings She's a laugh-a-minute From a joke so cruel Weighted blanket in the swimming pool Okie dokie for a broken fool A new hand sign for your twisted ways It's the new okay Deep in my own head Drenched from the cups I thought going downtown might cheer me up We promised each other we wouldn't let it get too rough Said to let me know son, when you've had it enough Said "Let me know when you've had your fill" Force of danger And the force of will Break your spirit when it gets revealed That you settled for an injury Instead of a kill Blood on your hands A pointless kill Now we've lost our way It's the new okay And I wonder if the life we lived Will be around when the weight is lifted Off the ground when the blades have shifted And it's all burnt to the ground Will we rise up from where we're planted With our fists up to the sun Or will we settle for our tear gassed eyes Staring down the gun It's summer in Portland and everything's fine Black Lives Matter holding up the line We've got mommy's and vets, taking fire From the cops on the beat, and the occupiers It's 11:29 and the shit comes down Shooting violence from behind the fence Smashing the medics and the once free press It gets bloody, and then gets messed Goons with guns coming out to play It's a battle for the very soul of the USA It's the new okay It's the new okay It's the new okay
