	I wake each morning to bad news Splashed across my phone the latest doom Numb to the distractions That interrupt my need to consume But you’re on a different planet it seems A separate set of villains though we’re on the same team With everybody’s head in the sand How are we supposed to understand Saying this is most certainly true But only what aligns with you and what you see and what you feel How can you judge what’s real This is most certainly true Divide and conquer is their plan From the lying mouth of an anchorman Bickering on facebook ’Til we are Amerikastan Facts are not opinions you choose to believe You listened to a liar and you’ve been deceived With babies living in a cage How can you just disengage? Saying this is most certainly true But only what aligns with you and what you see and what you feel How can you judge what’s real? Turning our allies against us Praising the killers and despots How much more can our country endure? By the time you feel the symptoms There will be no cure There’s no such thing as alternative facts They’re dismantling your freedom As their circus distracts us Don’t you see you’re part of the act? watching it all collapse Saying this is most certainly true But only what aligns with you and what you see and what you feel How can you judge what’s real? This is most certainly true Saying this is most certainly true But only what aligns with you and what you see and what you feel How can you know what’s real?

about

I wake each morning to bad news
Splashed across my phone the latest doom
Numb to the distractions
That interrupt my need to consume

But you’re on a different planet it seems
A separate set of villains
though we’re on the same team
With everybody’s head in the sand
How are we supposed to understand

Saying this is most certainly true
But only what aligns with you
and what you see and what you feel
How can you judge what’s real
This is most certainly true

Divide and conquer is their plan
From the lying mouth of an anchorman
Bickering on facebook
’Til we are Amerikastan

Facts are not opinions you choose to believe
You listened to a liar and you’ve been deceived
With babies living in a cage
How can you just disengage?

Saying this is most certainly true
But only what aligns with you
and what you see and what you feel
How can you judge what’s real?

Turning our allies against us
Praising the killers and despots
How much more can our country endure?
By the time you feel the symptoms
There will be no cure

There’s no such thing as alternative facts
They’re dismantling your freedom
As their circus distracts us
Don’t you see you’re part of the act?
watching it all collapse

Saying this is most certainly true
But only what aligns with you
and what you see and what you feel
How can you judge what’s real?
This is most certainly true

Saying this is most certainly true
But only what aligns with you
and what you see and what you feel
How can you know what’s real?

It’s OK to leave feeling just a little bit giddy after listening to “Madman In The Rain.” When we were younger, some of us thought that rock and roll could change the world. I guess we were right all along. Uncle Ears
