Statue Lyrics by Ryan Art

LiveFi.01 / Living in the 21st Century Through the Past for the Future

2020

[Beau of the Fifth Column] (Steff Neff)
They, uh, last night managed to ram through a supreme court nominee
Got her confirmed, good job guys, congratulations and all of that

(Isn't it exciting?) And then they adjourned
So people in Kentucky waiting on that stimulus (freeing and easy like) its not coming
They decided that putting somebody on the supreme court who could not name the components of the first amendment at the hearing was more important
(so won't you come and)
-- somebody who did not have the base qualifications for the job
(join the party)
-- that was more important than helping you out with a stimulus
(dressed to kill)
That was more important than helping the small businesses out
That's what mattered
(You said come with me)
See McConnell has created this fiction, this idea, that the republican party cares about the Constitution
(eyes pleadin')
That they care about the working American
In one night they proved that wasn't true
(I stood like a statue in the sun)
Because you can't put someone on the highest court in the land - who's sole purpose is to interpret the Constitution - when they don't know what's in it
(I stood like a statue in the sun)
So they do not care about the Constitution, they never have
They care about power and keeping working class commoners in their place
(I stood like a statue in the sun)
That's why they don't want you to have a stimulus check
That why they don't want your small business to get any help

Because they need to keep you in debt, they need to keep you down
So they can sit there and say work harder
(I stood like a statue in the sun)
Don't worry the American dream is right around the corner for you -- which is another fiction. It's not
(Tomorrow will never come)
The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer
Why?
Because the rich own those senators

This is limited to McConnell
(You said come on love)
Your republican senator played a hand in this
Had they done what they were supposed to
(What are you so afraid of?)
Okay, cool, and then they could have taken care of the nominee
(It isn't like you)
They could have focused on what mattered and then they could have pushed through Trump's nominee
(to turn tail and run)
It's not a big deal, it's not like they were actually vetting her
It's not like they were doing their duty. They were just gonna rubber stamp anybody he sent up, that was proven

So why'd it take so long?
A fiction
(Sorry)
A show
(I'm just so used up ever-)
To trick the common folk into thinking they care, they don't
(since the fall of Olympus)
She couldn't answer a question from a test from a sixth grade civics course
(The idols lay broken left to rust)
But now she's going to be interpreting the Constitution, determining the limits of your rights
That was definitely more important than helping out the economy right?
Helping out the little guy?
It's because they don't care about you
(And so)
That's not their goal, that's their fiction
(Where do we go)
That's the lie they sell to working class Americans they just wrap it in the American flag and pretend it's true
-- its not
It's never been true
They don't care about you
(Tell me, where is left to run?)
They confirmed a supreme court nominee who could not tell you what the first amendment was while they let the country twist in the wind like that flag they pretend to care about
