New Lyrics: "What In Hell Are We Supposed To Think?" (Patreon)

New song -- WARNING, POLITICAL. I might rearrange the verses to build up the impact, but this is the order in which it came out. Not the same chords or melody, but the same vibe as "I've Got A Dream" from Disney's Tangled.

ETA: just added the next-to-last verse, about guns.

The planet's getting hotter, we’re running out of water,

ecosystems ‘round the world are on the brink

But Republicans won't stop it

'cause Big Oil might lose profit, tell me,

What in hell are we supposed to think?

To prevent legal abortions, states are going through contortions

Calling Children who’ve been raped a slut or minx

But Republicans won't stop it, even if it goes ectopic, tell me,

What in hell are we supposed to think?

There are so many ways we could make this a better place,

Support our fellow citizens and friends

But every time someone suggests it, the right wing votes against it

And I don't know how they think it's going to end

Blacks are killed for missing tail lights, or jogging in broad daylight,

Or for sleeping on the couch or daring to blink,

But Republicans won't stop it, though police culture is toxic, tell me,

What in hell are we supposed to think?

LGBTQIA is really just another way

Of seeing yourself, it's not an illness, not a kink,

But Repubs keep on resisting, they don't want those folks existing -- tell me,

What in hell are we supposed to think?

From the SCOTUS and McConnell, down to school board and town hall

They keep telling everyone how they should live,

Yelling how they must be free, but how that don't apply to thee,

Don't they realize that something’s gonna give?

Our elections are run fairly, with drop boxes, voting early,

And ride programs -- but right wingers raise a stink,

“Our guy could not have been defeated, therefore YOU guys must have cheated!”

What in hell are we supposed to think?

We’ve got more guns than people, every school, store or steeple

Can be shot up in less time than you can blink,

But friends” and families’ lives ending matters less than dick extending,

What in hell are we supposed to think?

We’re just out here trying to make it, though it's tough to even fake it,

And it seems like every day our chances shrink,

But Republicans won't stop it, they want power, control, and profit,

And they don't care who it hurts or how it stinks,

If your policies are brutal, and your ruling theory's feudal,

If nothing you do helps the people, if your every action’s evil,

If each statement, speech or brief is just lying through your teeth, tell me,

What in hell are we supposed to think?
