Radical States of Populism

Lyrics

[VERSE 1] Sucked into division across every corner of the nation Donald Trump and JD Vance campaign on mass deportation Bernie Sanders and AOC vow aggressive wealth redistribution Commonplace here in America is a highly tribal revolution [VERSE 2] Thinking that the MAGA agenda has what it takes to enhance But that's just a false dilemma from Donald Trump and JD Vance Thinking that the DSA agendas are the workers' cup of tea But that's a fallacy coming from Bernie Sanders and AOC [CHORUS] Deflection of criticism by the left and right when they're fighting Framing the critique as deep state media and call it gaslighting The outcomes from the agendas supporters perceive as exciting The divisions that propagated the history they're rewriting Targeting of the perceived elites through a culture war Claiming the so-called elites so corrupt to the core Accusations of hoarding wealth and threatening national identity The Radical States of Populism that dominates animosity [VERSE 3] Revolutions against the corrupt elite shifting left and right The critics with nuance, they will most certainly bite Ex-proponents of divisive affiliations start to see the light But then the remaining proponents see them to smite [VERSE 4] Listening to the anti-immigration and anti-globalist rants Shouted out loud by Donald Trump and JD Vance Hearing about how high taxes for the rich should be Hollered loudly by Bernie Sanders and AOC [CHORUS] Deflection of criticism by the left and right when they're fighting Framing the critique as deep state media and call it gaslighting The outcomes from the agendas supporters perceive as exciting The divisions that propagated the history they're rewriting Targeting of the perceived elites through a culture war Claiming the so-called elites so corrupt to the core Accusations of hoarding wealth and threatening national identity The Radical States of Populism that dominates animosity [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO] [BRIDGE] Propagating the narrative of the pure people versus corrupt elite Starting culture wars through isolation and division, mission complete Drawing fears of the potentiality for history to repeat Every election comes around for them to bitch when they face defeat [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO] [CHORUS] Deflection of criticism by the left and right when they're fighting Framing the critique as deep state media and call it gaslighting The outcomes from the agendas supporters perceive as exciting The divisions that propagated the history they're rewriting Targeting of the perceived elites through a culture war Claiming the so-called elites so corrupt to the core Accusations of hoarding wealth and threatening national identity The Radical States of Populism that dominates animosity [PRE-OUTRO] Propaganda that gets us sucked into a tribalism Weaponization of the power risen by elitism Redefining their stances as a form of activism And now, this is the Radical States of Populism [OUTRO] The Radical States of Populism!
