Thank You for Your Attention to this Matter

[Verse 1] I watched the feed ignite like wildfire One man’s decree, a nation obeys The courts fall quiet, the anchors grow softer And justice forgets what to say [Pre-Chorus] All the silence in the screams We hear the fascist dream [Chorus 1] Crush the unions (thank you for your attention to this matter) Wreck retirement (thank you for your attention to this matter) Ban abortion (thank you for your attention to this matter) Erase the queers (thank you for your attention to this matter) [Verse 2] The headlines spin like flags in the smoke While neighbors turn on neighbors for praise They call it protection, they call it salvation But freedom is buried in phrase [Pre-Chorus] All the silence in the screams We hear the fascist dream [Chorus 2] Strangle the rights (thank you for your attention to this matter) End inclusion (thank you for your attention to this matter) Disarm the weak (thank you for your attention to this matter) Crown the church (thank you for your attention to this matter) [Bridge] “It’s only for now,” you whisper and tremble “It’s only to keep our children safe.” But that’s the lullaby before the purge begins — The comfort that digs your grave [Pre-Chorus] All the silence in the screams We hear the fascist dream [Chorus 3] Gut the schools (thank you for your attention to this matter) Cut the funding (thank you for your attention to this matter) Muzzle news (thank you for your attention to this matter) Deport dissent (thank you for your attention to this matter)
