Ugly in 2026
[Verse 1]
Strip malls
Payday loans
Flag on the porch
Screen on our phones
"Thoughts and prayers" in a plastic frame
Scroll past fire
Then forget the name
[Chorus]
America is ugly in 2026
Smile for the selfie
Cracks in the bricks
Paint on the face
Rust on the fence
Land of the free
Sold by the cent
America is ugly in 2026
[Verse 2]
Blue lights
Red hats
Kids in the kitchen doing climate math
Dad’s on hold with the bill collector
Mom reads headlines like an old love letter
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We pledge
We swear
We sing that song
Hands on hearts while the deals go on
Is this the dream or the side effect?
Tell me which lie we live in next
[Chorus]
Flyover Genius
[Verse 1]
Guy on TV
Shouting at a weather map
Neighbor swears the moon
Was built in some secret lab
Scroll
Scroll
Scroll
Til the brain turns flat
Laugh in a group chat
Like we're not all that
[Chorus]
"Most Americans are kinda dumb"
You say it with a lazy thumb
But who taught who
And who called it true
While the money ran off with the sum
"Most Americans are kinda dumb"
Easy line
Heavy with a drum
But the joke falls through
When it lands on you
Same sky
Same sun
[Verse 2]
Mom works nights
Can’t quote every history page
Kid’s got three jobs
Still they call it "just a phase"
Coach at the diner
Mispronounces every name
But he’ll fix your tire
In the freezing rain
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Who wrote the quiz
Who wrote the script
Who chose the channel
Who built the fix
If we’re all lost
Staring at the glow
Tell me who’s smart enough
To really know
Laugh Track For A Dying Empire
[Verse 1]
Screens glow
Same show
Different headline
Same joke
Anchor grins with perfect teeth
Sells the fear like candy cheap
"Thoughts and prayers" on a coffee mug
Flag print draped on a pickup truck
Kids learn drills under buzzing lights
Count the exits
Count their rights
[Chorus]
Holy shit
America is falling apart
And everyone is laughing
Scroll past the wreckage
Tap a heart
While everything is cracking
We turn the sirens into memes
Call it freedom
Call it art
Holy shit
America is falling apart
And everyone is laughing
[Verse 2]
Discount pills in aisle nine
Paycheck short
But the rent's on time
Preacher drives a polished car
Sells you heaven
Parks at the bar
Politicians trade their lines
Like baseball cards
Like alibis
We trade our anger for a brand
Wear the slogan on our hands
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Is this comedy or collapse?
Studio audience claps on track
We watch the credits slowly roll
Name by name
Role by role
Who's in charge of this laugh track now?
Plastic Lunch
[Verse]
America baby
Land of the free lunch
We got the plastic fantastic
A real good crunch
From the factory floor
To your grocery cart
It's all shiny new
Tearing us apart
[Chorus]
Plastic lunch
Yeah a plastic lunch
Every single day
We got a plastic lunch
It ain't organic
It ain't got no soul
Just a plastic lunch
Taking its toll
[Verse 2]
The kids they are eating it
Smiling so wide
Mama she's packing it
Nowhere to hide
From the micro-beads
To the giant trash pile
We're living the dream
For a little while
[Chorus]
Plastic lunch
Yeah a plastic lunch
Every single day
We got a plastic lunch
It ain't organic
It ain't got no soul
Just a plastic lunch
Taking its toll
[Bridge]
They say it's progress
They say it's the way
But my stomach is churning
What can I say
We chew on the future
We swallow it whole
A plastic fantastic
Losing control
[Chorus]
Plastic lunch
Yeah a plastic lunch
Every single day
We got a plastic lunch
It ain't organic
It ain't got no soul
Just a plastic lunch
Taking its toll
Run, America
[Verse 1]
Run
Run
There’s an idiot with a gun
Kids hit the floor
Math book
Backpack
Blood on the door
Sirens
But the hallway’s already loud
Phone in my hand
Trying not to say goodbye out loud
[Chorus]
Run
Run
There’s an idiot with a gun
This is America
This is what we’ve done
Hands up
Heads down
Praying we ain’t the ones
Run
Run
There’s an idiot with a gun
[Verse 2]
News truck
Another anchor at the gate
Names on the ticker
Candle wax on paper plates
Thoughts and prayers
Stacked higher than the shells
We buy hope on credit
And call it “something else”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
How many drills ‘til it feels like life?
How many vigils ‘til we call this right?
We teach our children
How to hide
Not how to heal
Whole country screaming
Like this is just the deal
[Chorus]
Canada Does Not Want You
[Verse 1]
Suitcase full of maple dreams
Printed hoodie
Brand-new skis
Typing “how to move up north”
On hotel lobby Wi‑Fi
Passport open on the desk
Practicing that “sorry” in the mirror
You even bought a red and white cap
Like that would make it clearer
[Chorus]
No Americans
You can't just move to Canada
Canada does not want you
It's cold enough already
Please stay where you are
Canada does not want you
[Verse 2]
You think it’s all kind cash and kindness
Free bandages with every fall
You picture people passing hot chocolate
At every strip mall
But there’s paperwork taller than your snowman
Questions you can’t cram overnight
And somewhere a clerk sips lukewarm coffee
Clicks “incomplete” with quiet delight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
It’s not you
It’s… well
It’s kinda you
That nervous laugh
That rolling suitcase on the slush
You shout “I love your country
Dude!”
They answer with a nod and a gentle
Gentle hush
Maybe fix a few things on your side of the line
Maybe plant a tree
Maybe stand in a different line
Then try again
Bring less attitude
And maybe
Just maybe
They’ll pretend they’re fine
[Chorus]
History Won’t Be Kind
[Verse 1]
Blue coats at the door again
Paper names in plastic hands
Kitchen light cuts through the dawn
Coffee cold
Breath held
Blinds drawn
[Chorus]
ICE is here to ruin everything
Boots on the porch
Buzzers ringing
Write it down
Remember this
History won’t be kind to this
ICE is here to ruin everything
Faces pressed to window screens
Every knock a loaded fist
History won’t be kind to this
[Verse 2]
Grandma hides her wedding ring
Kids rehearse their borrowed names
Someone scrolls the news
Goes numb
“Guess our number finally came”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Cameras up
Names aloud
Say it on the record
Say it to the crowd
We were here
We exist
Every page they try to burn
Turns into a witness
[Chorus]
