lyrics

Won't someone tell Johnny he can't wave the flag
The same time that he hides behind it?
That mental acrobat Is a modern patriot
In a nation under God.
These colors don't run.
Give 'em an inch,
They'll take your job.
But we know the Christian thing to do -
Deny to those what we ourselves never earned.

Welcome to the new United States
What may shock you, to most, just looks the same

Won't someone tell Lenny he can't shoot his gun
Just when and wherever that he wants?
Of course, you have rights
But you're scaring the shit out of everyone.
Don't confuse amendments one and two.
Just tend to your rabbits
And parrot whatever it is you heard on Fox News.

Welcome to the new United States
What may shock you, to most, just looks the same.

Won't someone tell Daryl that they love him?
I don't think anyone ever did.
It's proof positive that you gotta hug your kids.
Now with all the lies
The dog whistle slogans
The free speech martyrs
On crosses of ad hominem...
He's just a reflection
Of what's always been
Right beneath the surface.

Welcome to the new United States
What may shock you, to most, just looks the same
Welcome to the new United States
We hope you enjoy our every day.
