lyrics

We could have been great
if greatness hadn't been broken
we could have been great
if America hadn't been stolen
we could have been great
if they didn't take our language
we could have been great
if the planet were never raped

we could be great if the fascists didn't print it on a hat hey
we could be great if there wasn't rise of the KKK hey
if the white house were demolished hey
and the people in it abolished hey
then we could get something accomplished

Smash this capitalism
smash this systematic oppression
smash your old thoughts if they keep kids and animals in cages who just wanna play

oh my god
that's all they say now
oh my god
good thing I don't believe in god
oh my god
I'm pretty sure your god ditched you so
fuck your patriotism
fuck your nationalism
fuck your job if it means the earth's destruction

fuck your old thoughts yeah
fuck your grandparents if they were bigoted
fuck your blue collar if it means you were a shoulder to a post-fact reality
oh my god

we could have been great
if greatness hadn't been broken, stolen, raped and pissed on
