First they came for the communists and I did not speak out
Cause I was playing Rocket League and letting other ids dictate my life,
Then they came for the anarchists and I did not speak out,
Because who the fuck has time to raise a flag between selfies and self-doubt,
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do, what did we do except argue?
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do?
Even though the hatred's taken over (yeah yeah yeah)
Doesn't mean we'll be like this forever (hell no)
But we're running out of reasons to believe it's not inevitable,
That we bought a one way ticket to the fast lane of a death spiral
Then they came for the socialists and I didn't speak out,
Cause I lapsed my membership to a personality cult I didn't care about,
Then they came for the marxists and I didn't speak out,
Cause I was drinking myself dumb again and throwing in the towel,
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do, what did we do except argue?
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do?
Even though the hatred's taken over (yeah yeah yeah)
Doesn't mean we'll be like this forever (hell no)
But we're running out of reasons to believe it's not inevitable,
That we bought a one way ticket to the fast lane of a death spiral
Next they came for our ideas, and stifled our conversations,
By presenting fact as fiction til we didn't know what was real,
And we danced to their tune, let em pit us against each other,
Sisters vs mothers, put that discourse undercover,
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do, what did we do except argue?
Then they came for me, Then they came for you,
What did we do?
Even though the hatred's taken over (yeah yeah yeah)
Doesn't mean we'll be like this forever (hell no)
But we're running out of reasons to believe it's not inevitable,
That we bought a one way ticket to the fast lane of a death spiral
