Thank you so very much, now allow me to direct you to the lyrics...

lyrics

Battering, bruising, pretensions confusing – hammer, sickle and star
Noble realist to the murderer Jingoist won’t get you too far
Zombie mercenaries, angry adversaries with their flags unfurled
Reincarnate czarism – deliberate schism to create two worlds

Why feign to play interplanetary amid horrors bearing no excuse?
His ruse, abject obedience – best be rocket-proof

Conservative garrisons’ contrarian comparisons, idealistic rage
Want to make things great again
By locking you inside their Machiavellian cage
Why feign to play interplanetary, cinched in their patriarchal noose?
Ride the flames to hell in a hand basket - best be fire-proof

Pluck the goose, and minimize its cries
Oppressors seem to fathom why
Lie, cheat, and steal to reap attention
For their hateful, revolting ad hominem

Momma taught me not to fuss about things I can’t control…
“For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none
If there be one, seek till you find it
If there be none, (well) never mind it”

(I know just how powerless I am…)

Zombie mercenaries, angry adversaries with their flags unfurled
Reincarnate fascism – deliberate schism to rectify their world

Why try to play interplanetary with instigators of false-truths?
Their goal, your complete capitulation – best be bullshit-proof

Pluck the goose, and minimize its cries
Oppressors seem to fathom why
Lie, cheat, and steal to gain momentum
For their ballot-by-bayonet referendum

Momma taught me not to fuss about things I can’t control…
“For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none
If there be one, seek till you find it
If there be none, (well) never mind it”

(The killing and anguish…) - Never mind it!
(Laws don’t seem to apply…) - Never mind it!
(The death of democracy…) - Never mind it!
(The mushroom cloud…) - Never mind it!

(I know just how powerless I am…)
