Open up your mouth and open it wide These days we hardly even know if we're still alive But either way it wouldn't matter much if we would finally die Because at least we'll find some peace there on the other side So pray for justice, or at least pray for consequence This nihilism's justified by everybody on the fence Between defense and offense is an argument that's dense With crooks and liars, cheats and politics so let your muscles tense { Say it's 2020 fucking up again Say it loud and proud "I want this to all end!"
