Sharpen up the guillotine
As fashionistas clean the scene
You're socially bewitched with narrative affixed
Tried and executed with no due process
Do you fight the good fight?
Or instigate the fighting?
It's a fucking witch-hunt
Somebody's head's gotta roll...
In New Salem
♪
Burn the books, rename the streets
Nothing is safe, suppress the speech
A virtual conflict, binary logic
Who the fuck is the strawman now?
Do you fight the good fight?
Or instigate the fighting?
It's a fucking witch-hunt
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem, New Salem, New Salem
Co-opted activists, somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem, New Salem, New Salem
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
♪
In a pacified endemic state
It's another echo-chamber slave
Addicted to extremes of ideologies
Where left and right amalgamate
And hang us from their tallest trees
Do you fight the good fight?
Or instigate the fighting?
It's a fucking witch-hunt
Somebody's head's gotta roll, it's a fucking witch hunt
♪
In an echo chamber no one can hear you scream
Burning the strawman in this knee-jerk nightmare
Roiling in all your virtue valor
Awakening as a victim martyr
Freedom fighter, or bald-faced instigator?
Do you fight the good fight?
Or instigate the fighting?
It's a fucking witch-hunt
Somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem, New Salem, New Salem
Somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem, New Salem, New Salem
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
