The world is laughing in our face (He won the race?) 

[REDACTED] -> Someone is laughing at young girls in pain (He won the race?!) 

I can’t tell her I cried three times today (He won the race!?) 

That I’m so stressed my bleeding was delayed (Fuck!! No way) 

 

It was nice knowing ya, gig-working maid 

I’m so sorry about the educa- 

-tion that you’ll get, little Grace 

At least you live in New York, eh? 

 

To my nieces  

Your aunt is sorry 

Your protections are in pieces 

Because of this damn country 

 

But I’ll do whatever it takes 

Even if I can’t keep you safe 

I’ll die trying 

I’ll go down fighting 

 

This place looks nothing like home (How could they vote) 

The Billionaires versus the Broke (When they don’t know) 

The man who lives to stoke the war (They’re picking wrong) 

He’s the one they voted for? (Leave us alone) 

 

They’re already learning that they’ll pay the price 

For obnoxiously swearing that they were right 

The predators don’t only come out at night 

The woodwork couldn’t hide them if it tried 

 

To my nephews 

You aunt is sorry 

You’ll do shooting drills at school 

Because of this damn country 

 

But I’ll do whatever it takes 

Even if I can’t keep you safe 

I’ll die trying 

I’ll go down fighting 

 

I get nightmares often 

I wish that this was just one of them 

And I’m kind of hoping they’re right 

That there’s some messiah 

And the world could end tonight 

Come on, any day now 

 

To my friends 

I’m really sorry 

I wanna warn you in advance 

My emotions can get ugly 

 

And if you ever hear me say 

That I just wanna run away 

It’s ‘cause I’m crying 

I don’t know how we’ll survive this
