This song is a snapshot in time of the first week of October, 2018, when I wrote the lyrics. Some of it's already obsolete, some of it's still ongoing. It's insanity under Trump. - Tim D.
lyrics
It feels like July outside when it's the first week of October
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
The President's talking shit on assault survivors to cheering crowds
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
The entire United Nations laughs at our moronic leaders
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is right
Babies are put in cages 'cause their families tried to claim asylum
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is right
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We're living in rare times
Legitimate journalists are rejected in favor of conspiracy theorists
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
The President denies the deaths from the hurricane in Puerto Rico
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
Fascism walks the streets proud and without fear, how the fuck did we get here
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is right
We're left with a sinking feeling it'll get worse before it gets better
None of this, none of this, none of this is normal
None of this, none of this, none of this is right
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We are alive in the worst case scenario
We're living in rare times
It feels like July outside when it's the first week of October...
We're living in rare times...
