Navigating the Political Hurricane: Escape the Stake's Powerful Message
Lyrics
I try not to really care
I attempt not to deeply care.
But even if it's the lesser of two evils, it's still fuckin evil
Even if it's the lesser of two evils, it's still morally wrong.
I try not to take it there
I try not to escalate the situation.
Not everything's about politics, I've been told that
Not everything revolves around politics, as I've been informed.
But it really seems like it now
Despite being told otherwise, everything seems political now.
They say you can still be friends with someone with different views
People suggest maintaining friendships despite differing political views.
But it's hard to be friends with someone who doesn't give a shit about you
It's challenging to be friends with someone indifferent to your well-being.
The political climate now's a hurricane
The current political environment is tumultuous like a hurricane.
And I just can't stand by when you're leaving human beings out in the rain
I cannot ignore when people are neglected in difficult situations.
Where's your compassion, man?
Questioning the lack of compassion in the current state.
Where's that Christlike grace?
Where is the benevolent grace resembling that of Christ?
You only care about people like you and that's insane
Expressing frustration that concern is limited to those similar to oneself.
I try not to judge everyone
I strive not to judge everyone.
But I wouldn't do this shit, are you kidding?
Expressing disbelief in engaging in certain behaviors.
I've got some empathy for god's sake
Claiming to possess empathy.
But I get it, you think it's fun
Understanding that others find enjoyment in certain controversial discussions.
To scream about how the libtards will take your guns away
Addressing fears related to political changes and gun control.
'Cause you're scared shitless
Describing fear and anxiety.
I'm getting sick of you, everyone else is too
Expressing frustration and weariness with someone's behavior.
Pretty soon this world we've got, it won't favor you
Warning that the current world may not favor those with such attitudes.
The political climate now's a hurricane
Reiterating the turbulent nature of the current political climate.
And I just can't stand by when you're leaving human beings out in the rain
Cannot ignore the plight of neglected individuals during this metaphorical storm.
Where's your compassion, man?
Questioning the absence of compassion and grace akin to Christ's teachings.
Where's that Christlike grace?
Expressing frustration that concern is limited to those similar to oneself.
You only care about people like you and that's insane
The political climate now's a hurricane
Reiterating the turbulent nature of the current political climate.
We've gotta be the ones to make sure those fucked up structures get washed away
Advocating for dismantling problematic societal structures.
We can make this better, there's still another way
Believing in the possibility of positive change through collective action.
But it's gonna mean we've gotta do something
Acknowledging the need for proactive efforts to bring about change.
