[Intro] That's cool I got the DI I didn't do it yet I got the DI I didn't do it yet It's to a click, Mark! Alright, sweet One, two, three, four [Verse 1] Watch the gears grind off their teeth, the screeching halt machine Digging heels in disbelief Two reactional identities, opposing policies A bait and switch routine Double takes and double-speak Still scripting the facade Asphyxiate and choke the truth All hail the money god [Chorus] Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same, so deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence, we asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream [Verse 2] A coup d'état on full display, a liar's sick charade A traitor's grand parade Narcissistic masquerades for those without a say Systematic disarray Divide and conquer and close them in And bury secrets deep Make America hate again And bleed the sheep to sleep [Chorus] Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same, so deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence, we asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream (Scream) [Bridge] You try to pick the lesser of But evil doesn't come in twos Bellicose and Balkanized A sinking ship of fools So kiss the hangman as you drop The rotting corpse of decency Just another casualty of the American scream Scream The American scream [Chorus] Repeat, echo, refrain It's all the same, so deafening Repeat, echo, refrain A consequence, we asked for this Repeat, echo, refrain No, never again The American scream Never again
