about

Written the day before the 2020 Presidential election whilst completely consumed by fear and exhaustion. Thankfully, we won, but so much idiocy, violence, fear, and cut-throat selfishness still runs rampant in America. Seems as good a time as any to put it out there.

lyrics

Is it ok to have a beer in the morning
Is it ok to have a shot in the day
Is it ok to have 6 or 7 cocktails
At night to take the pain away
Is it ok?

Is it ok to punch a hole in the drywall
Is it ok to scream until you’re hoarse
Is it ok to stare at the upcoming telephone pole
And wonder about changing course
Is it ok? Am I ok? I got something to say

Now everybody’s walking the tightrope
Everybody’s on the edge
They tell you open up your windows
But they don’t tell you what to do with the ledge
Step away

The world is filled with stupid assholes
They grow in number every single day
They only believe in what they can’t see
Cuz it’s easier than to educate
It ain’t ok, no it ain’t ok

So I ain’t gonna raise a glass
No toast to the past
I’m just trying to get through this alive
Ain’t gonna reminisce
Cuz it led us to this
Truth and reason on the losing side
We’re on the losing side

The bathwater is drowning the baby
The nose is overtaking the face
JCTVFB ain’t the opiate of the masses
They’re goddamn crack cocaine
It’s a shame

So can you blame me for a beer in the morning
Can you blame me for a broken hand
I lost my job and my dear grandma
My sure footing’s gone to straight quicksand
It ain’t ok, no I ain’t ok

So I ain’t gonna raise a glass
No toast to the past
I’m just trying to get through this alive
Ain’t gonna reminisce
Cuz it led us to this
Truth and reason on the losing side
We’re on the losing side...
How’s this the losing side?
