lyrics

[1]
your friends and neighbors
have gone completely insane

tell me you've noticed
show me you care
[instrumental bar]

banning books and smashing windows
waving flags and holding stupid parades
cops and realtors, dentists, housewives
all completely, all completely insane

[2]
your friends and neighbors
have gone completely insane

coughing in faces, blowing their lids
screaming at teachers, when they don't have kids
wearing their armor, wearing their guns
they used to be harmless. it almost was fun.

now i think that they really might want to kill me
maybe not first, but eventually

[3]
your friends and neighbors
have gone completely insane

mailing bombs and shooting churches
kidnappping goddamn sitting governors
stocking up on ammunition
and storming the actual us capitol

what the hell happened?
how did we failed
how are there more of these terrorist bastards
running for congress then rotting in jail

[bridge]
and i don’t mean no disrespect but no use being circumspect
cause metaphor is cowardice and irony is masturbation
you say that i sound too distraught but i don’t think it’s overwrought
to not make it an afterthought to know all your secure locations

say no more say no more
oh no no no no no

[3]
you’re friends and neighbors
have gone completely insane

your friends and neighbors
or probably just your neighbors
look i don't know you
anymore i don't know anyone
clinging to symbols and slogans and bad jokes
just to not feel, just to not feel alone
as you can see, it's not working

your friends and neighbors
have gone completely insane

show me you've noticed
show me you care
show me you're listening
show me you're scared

is this a fever
is this a storm
will it blow over
am i getting warm

is this a nightmare
we've already had
when do we wake up
will it get bad
