about

This song is dedicated to Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg, and anyone else who has whetted their tragedy and plunged it into the heart of a prominent occupying force, here in the glorified Ground Zero we have the nerve (and willful ignorance) to call the greatest nation on earth.

lyrics

Saint Valentine's massacre. 2018
I heard the bullets rip through flesh past the Neilsen's silver screen
The bozos with bazookas took their place amongst the dead
Alongside the visions of sugar plums locked up in my head
So the varsity team sang the alma mater loud and clear
"We need stricter thoughts and prayers to keep this from happening here."
Oh Lord, why have you forsaken all of us in Mandatory America

Seems we would do well to let the sleeping gods lie where they may
The oracle's been signaled but our lady's been forestalled
Resigned to scrubbing peni off the nation's bathroom stalls
And the next year's harvest is sure to put this one to shame
So we'll mourn its victims and do our dance to pray for rain
Oh Lord, why have you forsaken all of us in Mandatory America

Saint Valentine's ultrasound, at only 19
That little chalk outline would become somebody
To not a special miracle, visitor from another star
But another tributary on the doorstep of the old guard
Left to wander the outer limits of a landscape occupied
It’s a short walk from California to Palestine

Oh Lord we missed the last ride out of Mandatory America
