[verse 1]

so many feelings can’t contain ’em in a twitter thread
the rino in the room still pumping up his pumpkin head
the china’s falling off the walls, while propaganda spreads
the street’s escheatin ‘tic-p-ting b-tter on their bread

and putin put his thumb upon the scale, the spooks said
aleppo’s rubble, syria won’t even count the dead
i can’t drown out the somme reverberating in my head
can’t help but think we’re headed headlong into world war zed

can’t underestimate how appomattox rears its head
and reconstruction’s pre-destruction gave the klan its bed
these darren wilsons in the street thinkin’ they’re judge dredd
no repercussions, white supremacy was never dead

we wanted to be with her, ‘least that’s what the polls said
can’t square the oval’s overrun by kleptocrats instead
his story rhymes forsooth that’s what i heard the sayer said
coming back around the bend again so

[hook]

sound the alarm!

sound the alarm!

[verse 2]

and the arctic’s not freezin’, miami’s sinkin’
and no one is freakin’, too busy with what cheeto’s tweetin’
we’re seein’, the city upon a hill retreatin’
as if civil rights was just a weekend

at bernie’s, dead-on-arrival, but it’s survival
justice for some is it for none, don’t be scared of our fievels
white supremacy’s an empty ideology
a sorry subst-tution for truth, no apologies

the radio’s been feeding you lies, find new sonologies
your information diet’s corrupt, modern astrology
what if this sweet potato gets mad and bombs atomically
you need to get the lay of the land, go back to socrates

you need to see the issues at hand, trade in these sophistries
dred scott, plessy, sh-lley, brown v
loving, shelby, things are winding
the arc will never build itself, we gotta fight so

[hook]

sound the alarm!

sound the alarm!

[verse 3]

growing up wasn’t dangerous for us, we shot
plenty of guns, but it was play, inconspicuous
but then we k!ll a twelve-your-old, no-questions-asked because
he’s darker than baloney so we know it won’t come up

tamir died ‘cause of lies, the truth is compromised
so when the roof goes off, don’t even act surprised
when will our black lives matter, we’re on the same side
we are one of each other, we need our new eyes

mephistopheles’ waiting, we’re running out of time
our achilles is showing, hiding in plain sight

we have to work through these foundational malignancies
stop tiny hands and manifest our destiny so

[hook]
sound the alarm!

sound the alarm!

[outro]
sound the alarm!

sound the alarm!
