THE SECOND EVE OF DESTRUCTION
PF Sloan
New lyrics by Robert Porembski

This viral world, it is explodin',
Covid spreadin', bullets loadin',
Right wing extremists rioting and lootin',
Untrained cops can’t stop themselves from shootin’,
A corrupt administration that lies in bed with Putin
But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Look at all the trouble they have in Minnesota
Then take a look at Georgia as they try and suppress the voter.
All around us racism is totally systemic,
An incompetent government can’t handle a pandemic,
Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Every press conference is full of misdirection,
As they spin their lies and try to rig elections,
You can't hide the truth, it knows no regulation,
Complicit Senators won't pass legislation,
And protests alone can't unify the nation,
Go ahead, break the law, you’ll get dispensation
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

The department of justice has become a lousy joke
Any rule of law has gone up in smoke
The guy who runs Tesla wants to go to outer space,
But the way he runs his factory is a goddamn disgrace ,
Lying to the people has become commonplace,
You can hide your taxes and don't leave a trace,
Post some hate speech on Twitter and put it all in upper case
And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
