I Will Always Loathe You

You promised hope on every screen Wrapped in flags and gasoline Smiling while the whole thing burned Another lesson never learned You shook hands with billionaires While the people said their prayers Every headline felt surreal Truth dissolved beneath the deal And now the country’s tired Of the circus and the fire And I… Will always loathe you Though you wrapped your lies in red, white, and blue You sold fear like it was freedom too And I… Will always loathe you Every speech another show Every answer never no Just distractions, smoke, and rage Actors on a crumbling stage Neighbors turned on neighbor fast Fighting ghosts from broadcasts past While the cameras rolled all night Truth got buried out of sight History is watching now Every broken sacred vow Every deal behind closed doors Every rich man’s endless wars And I… Will always loathe you For the damage done beneath the view For the people left divided through and through And I… Will always loathe you
