lyrics

I woke up on the morning of November 9th with a sick feeling of dread
I knew if you had been there, we’d have had a fight
So I scripted the whole thing in my head:

I’d have said,
Lord have mercy, we’ve been hacked
The Russians finally attacked
And you’d have said, “Baby, I don’t understand the fuss
‘Cuz what they did to you is what you did to us!”

And so I guess that we deserve it
There’s truth in what you say
The School of the Americas
Is running to this day
We’re getting our comeuppance
We’ve heard the piper play
Are we the generation
That was only born to pay?

I think of you when I watch the news
And I feel like I have to puke
They say that North Korea has the capability to send a missile ‘cross the ocean with a giant nuke

And I’d say
Oh Lord, have mercy, keep us strong
I fear they just might drop the bomb
And you would say, “Well, you know, it’s no surprise to me…
‘Cuz what about Hiroshima and Nagasaki?”

And so I guess that we deserve it
There’s people that would say
I owe my whole existence
To the Enola Gay
We’re getting our comeuppance
We’ve heard the piper play
Are we the generation
That was only born to pay?

Well, even if we’d argue
And see things differently
These hard times would be easier
If you were here with me
And if the worst should happen
In just the way I fear
Yeah, if I were to perish
Would you even shed a tear?

I think of you every single day even though I’d rather not
And I doubt that you hardly ever think of me
So I’ll leave you now with this parting thought:
You might think you’re safe and virtuous
And far out of harm’s way
But babe, I’ve got bad news for you:
There’s a Trump Tower down in Punta del Este!

And so I guess we all deserve it
I know I’m not alone
Yeah, let the one who’s free from sin
Go throw out that first stone
We’re getting our comeuppance
We’ve heard the piper play
Are we the generation
That was only born to pay?
