Isaac Alexander Johnson - Current Events Lyrics

We asked a question that you couldn't answer
How do we get there from here
Because you never see your reflection
I guess you don't look in the mirror
We stand on these words but if they have no meaning
Which is the path that is clear
Just billions of pixels all the bells and whistles
How do we get there from here
La da da la da da America America
A closet of cronies unstable jabronies
Decide the fate that our children endure
A senate of yes men who could really care less man
As long as their pension's secure
This smells like a mobster legitimate lobster
Forgotten and left in the sun
The sad playground bully your pigtails he's pulling
Now that ain't no way to have fun
America America America America
We took the power of the fifth amendment
To avoid incriminating ourselves
We refused to listen to any criticism
Or anyone asking for help
There's no conversation just products and placement
Detergent cars soda and guns
This smells like old mobster martinis and lobster
Washed up on the beach in the sun
La da da la da da America America
The wrong side of history unsolvable mystery
Established the tone of the day
Reactionary or pragmatic still could not tune in the static
Moral compass is elastic everything is made of plastic
We asked a question that you couldn't answer
How do we get there from here
I guess that we never see your reflection because you don't look in the mirror
America America America America
How do we get there from here
