Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Climate of fear has us distrusting our neighbors
Elected officials, cable news, and the papers
Straining the seams of the political garment
Colors we wear can turn our backs to a target
[Verse 2]
Free? Freedom is not free
Right and left don't see eye to eye
A post-truth alibi
Few reasons to agree
Less even to be empathetic
A tolerant skeptic
[Verse 3]
Freely en masse, manipulation is rising
With internet arms, politics polarizing
Blood of the left, right left spilled in the pavement
Middle stayed home, stuck making memes in the basement
[Verse 4]
Free? Freedom is not free
Right and left don't see eye to eye
A post-truth alibi
Few reasons to agree
Less even to be empathetic
A tolerant skeptic
