How many times have you just scratched your head and said "Let me get this straight" - I also released the acoustic and violin unplugged version for you to enjoy. 

Let Me Get This Straight 

Why does so much 
Not make sense? 
Why do so many 
Blindly defend?
Why do questions 
Get pressured to end?
Where are the reasons 
Things don’t mend?

Two opposing sides 
Are adamant they’re right 
At the same time 
The left is right 
The right is wrong 
Somehow in some way
Both sides are evil 
Singing the same song
(Curiosity dead)

Let me get this straight 
(Get this straight) 
Pinch me harder 
Am I awake?
In a Twilight Zone way
War is always the solution 
Did all our global leaders 
Flunk conflict resolution?
(Nah man!)

Let me get this straight 
‘Cause I wanna know 
What I’m missing 
Why progress is slow 
Why joining dots offends 
Their delicate show 
And how serving
Smells more like power tripping

So we are divine 
While biologically defined
Then a godless agenda 
Trapped with pronoun genders
Ask ‘em all, who we really are 
They act like rock stars 
Yet avoid the question 
Sell a bunch of um’s and r’s

Let me get this straight 
(Let me get this straight) 
Pinch me harder 
Am I awake?
Life is precious 
Is what they say
But when it starts 
They can’t name the day?

Let me get this straight 
‘Cause I wanna know 
What I’m missing 
Why progress is slow 
Why joining dots offends 
Their delicate show 
And how serving
Looks more like controlling

(Ooooooh!)
‘Cause I wanna know 
What I’m missing 
Why progress is slow 
Why joining dots offends 
Their delicate show 
And how serving
Looks more like controlling

I put a lot of things 
That sense don’t make 
On a ‘what the fuck’ shelf 
But the shelving breaks
Collapsing under the weight
Of my denial 
Of all the charades 
I could not get straight

Let me get this straight 
(Let me get this straight) 
Now this does take the cake! 
Decades of failed predictions
From the many gate keepers
Who disagree on causes
Of climate disasters

Let me get this straight 
‘Cause I wanna know 
What I’m missing 
Why progress is slow 
Why joining dots offends 
Their delicate show 
And how serving
Feels more like manipulating
Feels more like manipulating
Feels more like manipulating

As we do our research 
They mock that we try 
Insist we follow experts 
That are almighty wise 
And when they’re not 
And their advice harms 
They gaslight 
Flee out of sight 
Into the dark of night

Let me get this straight 
(Let me get this straight) 
The endless penny pinching 
Shocked me awake
They insist on blind trust for them
And distrust for us 
But we’re smart enough
To candidate elect? (Nah!)

Let me get this straight 
‘Cause I wanna know 
What I’m missing 
Why progress is slow 
Why joining dots offends 
Their delicate show 
And how serving
Smells more like power tripping 
Looks more like controlling 
Feels more like manipulating 
That’s so crooked, hey?!
