Watch the gears grind off their teeth, the screeching halt machine Digging heels in disbelief Two reactional identities, opposing policies A bait-and-switch routine Double-takes and double-speak Still scripting the façade Asphyxiate and choke the truth All hail the money god Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same So deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence We asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream A coup d'état on full display, a liar's sick charade A traitor's grand parade Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say Systematic disarray Divide and conquer and close them in And bury secrets deep Make America hate again And bleed the sheep to sleep Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same So deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence We asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream (Scream) You try to pick the lesser of But evil doesn't come in twos Bellicose and balkanized A sinking ship of fools So kiss the hangman as you drop The rotting corpse of decency Just another casualty of the American scream Scream (The American scream) Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same So deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence We asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream Never again
