Fine

It’s the end of our home & they know it,
It’s the end of our home & we know it,
It’s the end of our home as we know it…
& nothing’s fine. 

Inauguration hour, paid in full by foreign power. 
Rape & burn, don’t learn, caught up in the human churn. 
Teens clad in uniform, book burning, blood checking. 
All insults innervated, infrastructure incinerated. 
Make your wishes, pray your prayers, get low, get out. 
Watch your heels crush, crushed, oh-hope, this means…
Fuck hate, cavalier potentate steer clear.
Put him in, put him in, put him in a tournament of lies. 
Offer me alternatives, offer us solutions & we’ll go wild. 

It’s the End of our Earth & they know it,
It’s the end of our Earth & we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it…& nothing’s fine.
