[Intro]
Argh!
No!
[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd see this bullshit again
To come of age in the '80s was bad enough
We were marginalized and demonized
I watched a lot of my generation die
Welcome back to "American Crisis"
No telling what the price is
[Verse 2]
Wake up every day to see a nation in flames
We click and we tweet and we spread these tales of blame
Here's the newest American crisis
Thanks to the "evangelical ISIS"
[Verse 3]
People suffer in the streets each day
While you take a little change from the offering tray
It's another American crisis
You can see how the lie divide us
World turning darker every day
In a fucked up USA
[Bridge]
Can you look in the mirror and tell me everything's alright?

[Chorus]

Or one of them
If you're one of them
Don't come near me again
[Bridge]
Ringing in my head only goes away
When I yell all the things that I shouldn't say
Ringing in my head never goes away! Argh!
[Breakdown]
Pro-Life, pro-Life
Until you make it in someone else's wife
You'll be struck down in your house of corruption
Free speech, free speech
Got stolen by a pack of thieves
This American Crisis keeps me wide awake at night
[Chorus]
You're one of us
Or one of them
If you're one of them
Don't come near me again
[Outro]
Silence was death
Never forget
Silence was death
Silence...
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh...

In a statement by Mould, he explained:
American Crisis’ is a tale of two times-Past Time and Present Time. The parallels between 1984 and 2020 are a bit scary for me: telegenic, charismatic leaders, praised and propped up by extreme Evangelicals, either ignoring an epidemic (HIV/AIDS) or being outr...
