12 Please

Can't put the beer back in the bottle 
Can't put the dumb back in your mouth 
Can't win a race by only going full throttle 
Can't wreck the shop then build a house 

We're all braced for all the greatness yet to come 
We're all living in a new America 

Can't win a war with childish language 
Can't win a war by shifiting blame 
Can't win new friends by picking up the damage 
See the only way to win is not to play 

Hide your skin, hide your daughters, hide your guns 
We're all living in a new America 

We tried, we failed 
But you'll find we're so much worse at giving up 
Sleep once, sleep once 
We'll be coming for your new America 

Can't drain a swamp by digging deeper 
Can't save the world and burn it down 
Can't have all three: there's better, faster, cheaper 
Can't tame the lions by sending in the clowns 

Hide your caps, hide your ribbons, hide your guns 
We'll be coming for your new America

New America b/w The Monster

New America

I could go sober but I'd miss the drink 
I could be still but then I'd have to think 
About everything I've said and done 
Can I love the monster I've become 

With all the ways I've found to stunt my growth 
And the emotions that I've learned to choke 
All the empty acts of sabotage 
Every smile I wore as camoflauge 

And all the time the truth was in my grasp 
But there were questions that I couldn't ask 
How could I expect for anyone 
To stay and love the monster I've become 

And there were times I tried to mend that rift 
But I love to smell a burning bridge 
How could I expect for anyone 
To stay and love the monster I've become 

I could go sober but I'd miss the drink 
I could go sober

I think the most dangerous part of our current climate is how addicted we've all become to confirmation bias.  We have no ability to understand each other, and no desire, because we've all come to believe that to disagree with us is to be immoral.  Wouldn't it be great if we could just get some empirical wisdom, that just made sense, on the virtue of actually being true?  

Man, I'm getting lofty these days.

The Truth
