I know it wasn't me Who thought "from sea to shining sea" Sounds cool enough to kill my way from one to another And I know it wasn't you Forcing the kids back into schools Make sure the stores are open people gotta spend money We're just caught up in the middle An open ocean where the waves are getting high A voice that never felt so little Sending out ripples in an ever-changing tide So hold your prayers now Because the Sun is going down And it's hard to look to heaven When up above it's only smoke instead of sky It damn sure wasn't nice To write that some votes would count twice as much as yours At least we've got a day off work Don't forget you can take breaks From politics and saving face Sure post your status, tag your best-friends You'll convince them That we're just caught up in the middle An open ocean where the waves are getting high A voice that never felt so little Sending out ripples in an ever-changing tide Should I even love my neighbor? You never know who could be living over there Don't wanna think about the real world Cause all this thinking it just makes me fucking scared So hold your prayers now Because the Sun is going down And it's hard to look to heaven Yeah it's hard to look up now I said it's hard to look to heaven When up above it's only smoke instead of sky
