whatifitsnotwhatitseems — Eric Henry Andersen

(Andersen)

A sucker primed to take the bait

Without a creed, a hope, a reason to live

But MAGAstan told him exactly who to hate

Was just about to quit the fight

But the cult exposed the truth for him

With open arms, they gave meaning to his life

History rhymes, tribalism reigns

Destined and doomed to the same mistakes?

What if it’s not what it seems?

He was sure that he was right only to find out that he was wrong

So what if it’s not what it seems?

Not what it seems

A sucker primed to take the bait

Without a creed, a hope, a reason to live

They woke her up, told her exactly who to hate

She used to be accountable

Till’ the cult relieved her of that role

And now she knows it’s always someone else’s fault

Fucking insane, sanctimonious

As they pull us all off the precipice

What if it’s not what it seems?

She was sure that she was right only to find out you that she was wrong

So what if it’s not what it seems?

Not what it seems

Thickens the plot, page four, act three

Are you getting a sense now of what I mean?

So what if it’s not what it seems?

But what if it’s not what it seems?

What if it’s not what it seems?

They were sure that they were right only to find out that they were wrong

So what if it’s not what it seems?

Not what it seems

(Armed with rage and with confidence)

(But ethos half-baked and incompetent)
