Mismatch, don't worry it'll be his ass

Think fast, hurry blame it on his past

The speaker addresses the listener, asking them to pay attention.

Reference to drinking (Jameson), smoking, and a critical view of someone's mindset.

You wouldn't ever think to give it up

You flick the Bic to rip the cigarette

But you don't give a what

It doesn't matter what we've been through

Phones out, get it or get no clout

No doubt, got a hundred views

Buddy, oh wow

So proud, get money unfunny know-how

We seem out of it

But love discussing politics

We ride or die with it

But can't see eye to eye with it

So we never quit

Never give up on rhetoric

Harmony will never stick

Keep us separate

It isn't just you, I worry for the kids too

Reflection on societal issues, lack of listening, strong opinions, and the need for consideration during a crisis.

Without ever really listening

We got opinions

Without hearing what the mission is

What a pity it isn't to be considerate

We're illiterate but call each other idiots

Besides us there isn't a one as righteous

Quarantine the B.S. seeing this is a crisis

Hopes for overcoming petty issues in the face of a larger crisis, emphasizing the need for unity.

And come together in the name of a virus

It isn't just you, I worry for the kids too
