State of the Union (Hyde Park Demo)

Howdy, George and Mr. fink Just wondering what you think About workers' rights and freedom to all people And Jesus, where you at Thought by now that you'd be back I been waitin' in a pew beneath the steeple For peace and unity Is all i really wanna see I can't find it on my phone or my TV There's fires in Hawaii Flooding back home and overseas Plastic in the ocean, and a lack of honey bees What happened to the prophets Were they not good for profits Did they start hurting sales of guns and rockets Have we just lost our way Boy, be careful what you say There's artificial ears inside your pockets War in the Ukraine War inside your brain Bombs in the Near East, while arms dealers fan the flames Who's gon' hold the reins With all these opioids in our veins Hard rains a-coming and we're bound in all these chains There's revolution in the air En garde, don't poke the bear Aw, though I kinda wish you would Don't wanna blame it on the system Cos the systems made of people And most the people I've met so far seem pretty good But just a couple rotten eggs Can spoil the whole bunch Guess it's genetically engineered meat for lunch Well porn is free and easy to find That must be because them geeks are so damn kind Gotta give these kids something to do People strugglin', lackin' purpose The devils rising to the surface We're all in desperate need of something true The unholy trinity Selling junk to you and me Peddling fear and hate and consumerism Down on State Street you can get your kicks 'Long as you work your whole damn life and take your licks And agree to the terms of your new digital feudalism We're not gonna get what we need, and we all know From a crooked Trump or Sleepy Eyed Joe Or frankly, any of these other politicians You see, it's you and I, and we're on our own And after all, we built this home There's sign on the lawmakers door that says gone fishin' We need communion A real state of union Some lovin' humans A family reunion
