*"More Than a Squirrel"*

(Verse 1)  
I saw the video, felt the ache,  
Little P'Nut didn’t stand a chance to break,  
And yeah, the outrage, I get why it flows—  
A life cut short, everyone knows.  

But look at the comments, the righteous cries,  
For one little life under government lies,  
But when it’s lives lost across the sea,  
A different tune is all I see.  

(Chorus)  
Why does a squirrel’s life matter more,  
Than thousands killed on a distant shore?  
They say “vote blue, don’t talk foreign lands,”  
But blood stains red on all our hands.  

(Verse 2)  
I’m not saying rise up and fight,  
But tell me why, why it feels right,  
To cheer for a squirrel’s justice here,  
While genocide rolls on, year by year.  

Forty thousand lives—who’s keeping score?  
But call it out and they shut the door,  
“Don’t talk of taxes, don’t speak of aid,”  
Just “vote the party, and don’t be swayed.”  

(Chorus)  
Why does a squirrel’s life matter more,  
Than thousands killed on a distant shore?  
They say “vote blue, don’t talk foreign lands,”  
But blood stains red on all our hands.  

(Bridge)  
It’s genocide, no matter who,  
No comfort in knowing others do it too,  
Call them out, every regime,  
But look at what our taxes mean.  

(Outro)  
All lives are sacred, near and far,  
But a squirrel’s worth more in our backyard.  
If we could feel for every soul,  
Maybe then the world would be whole.
