Song lyrics

I feel like clawin' out my eyes,
I feel like crawlin' out my skin,
Never again, never again,
Say, never again, never again!
I feel like runnin' down my street,
I feel so broken inside,
Say, never again, never again,
But you say it again, say it again!
Gunshots and online forums,
American decorum.
I cried my fuckin' eyes out,
Numbin' the pain with a cold brew coffee.
Our president is a racist prick,
His daddy treated him like shit,
He cakes his makeup on so thick,
There's nothing underneath it.
Hollywood burns from fires we start,
The Internet fills a hole in my heart,
Sometimes I just wanna crash my car,
Wanna kiss my wife when she says

She don't wanna bring a baby into this world,
I'm losin' sleep tryna be optimistic,
Optimistic.
She don't wanna bring a baby into this world,
I'm tellin' myself I should be optimistic,
Optimistic.

So don't tell me everything's alright,
I'm tryin' so hard not to scream,
Stayin' alive, stayin' alive,
Old men die, but we survive
Shot down in Dayton, Ohio,
Parkland, Vegas, El Paso,
Down at the border, her mother's in labor
Inside of a cage and she says

She don't wanna bring a baby into this world,
So goddamn tired of tryin' to be optimistic,
Optimistic.
She's so afraid for that baby girl,
She don't know why she can't stay optimistic,
Optimistic.

Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
Don't tell me everything's alright.
