lyrics

If you protest
If you protest common sense
Don't do it in the name of freedom
Don't do it in the name of freedom
It makes freedom
Seem less like common sense
Less like common sense
Less like common sense
Less like common sense

If you protest
If you protest common sense
Don't do it in the name of freedom
Don't do it in the name of freedom
It makes freedom
Seem less like common sense
Less like common sense
Less like common sense
Less like common sense

Hours minutes seconds whispers
Pregnant with the future
For the hands on the clock it's a neutral truth that moves on with or without the user
I don't remember what day it is
I've gone from March to May and shit's still just the way it is
I miss the way it was
But like Emperor Zurg it can't kill my buzz
People out on the streets like I'm free you can't tell me what to do
That's a slave to an idea
To prioritize freedom over human flourishing what's the point
Are you chained to an IKEA
Though it's good to be free
Why have we been so wrought with division ever since Pangea
I don't want marshal law
But a call to stay home if we might save a life we should all hear
Lady Liberty could shed a tear
Overlooking the here and the now and she's seen some things
I'm just really clearing out every thought above my brow
Riled up I've got too much time to think
God have mercy on the people every town
Every hospital gown
Every person who has clocked out
Got me wondering if ptsd will see everybody
When we leave from this lock down
I hope not

If you protest
If you protest common sense
Don't do it in the name of freedom

Listen when we look at society as a whole
It's very overwhelming because you can't get your arms around it to address it
But if you shrink your circle down into the good that you can put into the world
Your chances of feeling in control greatly improve
Here's something else I wanted to ask you
If everything went back to normal how do you think you'd approach the world
Where would you go
What would you do
