“I Can’t Believe” is an explicitly political song which shows the band’s disdain and disgust at the conduct of the Trump administration. In songwriter Matt Skiba’s words:
“It’s even more so about the people that continue to think that Trump is a good idea, regardless of all the racism, sexual abuse...
[Verse 1]
I can’t believe anything that you’re saying to me
I just can’t see how you ever dreamed this was for the best
I can’t believe in these things that you pretend to see
I just don’t see how the fuck you could ever think that I’d agree
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me on the outskirts of this
Seven-headed whore of a one-horse town
[Chorus]
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
[Verse 2]
I can’t believe anything that you’re saying to me
I just can’t see how you ever dreamed this was for the best
I can’t believe in these things that you pretend to see
I just don’t see how the fuck you could ever think that I’d agree
[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me on the outskirts of this
Seven-headed whore of a one-horse town
[Chorus]
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
[Bridge]
Someone to hold onto
Some place like space I’ve never been
Nothing left to get through
A name and a face I’ll never see again
Someone to hold onto
Someone to hold onto
[Chorus]
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
[Outro]
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Someone please do something, something’s wrong
He’s no longer breathing, but singing along
