lyrics

We started out in celebration
How'd it come to this?
Punctures in our perfect bubble
Our ignorant bliss
Now we all hold on to one another
Shocked, dismayed, afraid
Demagoguery and division
Won today

And if you're not mad, then you're not paying attention
Everybody's got something to lose
Pundits on the playground all pretending
What they say is truth

Alive and thriving
Charlatans are here to steal your glory
Flashing, screaming screens and pages
----ing up the story
Greatness is an aspiration
Not something behind us
So this is where we live now
This is where we live now

And if you're not mad, then you're not paying attention
Everybody's got something to lose
Pundits on the playground all pretending
What they say is truth

And if you're not mad, no, not mad, irate
At the prejudice, at the blatant hate
At the lack of talent, the lack of skill
At the lunacy of the people's will
At the ignorance and contempt for good
If you're not scared for your neighborhoods
For the people of color, the Muslims, the Jews
The women and the immigrants and refugees too
For the les, the gay, the bi, the trans
The poor and disenfranchised, our fate's in the hands
Of these people who don't give a ---- about you
Or worse yet who hate you for just being you
If you're not shocked and confused and afraid
Then no one can help you, your bed's been made
But if you're like me and you feel disrespected
And enraged about the demon elected
If your voice goes unheard, raise your hand up high
If your plight goes unseen, raise it up to the sky
Stop, look around at all these raised hands
You are not alone

And if you're not mad, then you're not paying attention
Everybody's got something to lose
Pundits on the playground all pretending
But this is not truth
