Kids

[Verse 1]
Bred in the Bible Belt’s evangelical echo chambers
Where they preach hate and then see the wealth of an entertainer
The nation’s toxic traits are amplified in their mics
They despise autonomy, their stance denying your rights
While their persecution complex is canonized in their minds
The fact is they want diversity sanitized for the whites
And young mеn corrupted by these narrativеs spun
Morph into more mass shooters, America’s sons
Liberals wanna give your guns to their heroes that hide
Listening to students die ‘cause they’re in fear for their lives
While they’re arresting parents pleading tearful outside
If you’re white they’ll let you survive ‘cause you’re a mirror of swine
Burn the churches, burn the schools, overturn what you learned
‘Cause it wasn’t the Golden Rule, no, your herd is disturbed
Under no pretext should we disarm the marginalized
Just so this wave of fascists can keep their ARs and then thrive

[Chorus]
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
When it’s difficult for adults to want to live in this hole
Tumbling downhill like we slipped from the slope
The facade deteriorates and the schism explodes
As the self fulfilling prophecy they christened unfolds
And they wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own

[Verse 2]
And look at y’all swept up in the media circus
Where losers can be understood when they’re needing a purpose
Softening these monsters and buying them Burger King
Gaining a mystique in the spotlight of a murder spree
A stamped official product of their right wing rhetoric
If he’d been loaned a million bucks then he might be president
Now they’re banning abortion because their worried for birth rates
Like they won’t have enough labor to scurry the work place
They see the collapse coming and the fury to serve change
On these fucking puritans returning to burn stakes
While lone wolves activate and execute on their training
Democrats shout from their soapbox
“The solution’s defanging!”
They say
“You can’t repel a government such as ours
They’ll just send a fucking drone as punishment for the farce!”
But your cops cowered waiting while suited like soldiers
So I reject submitting to the boots that control us

[Chorus]
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
When it’s difficult for adults to want to live in this hole
Tumbling downhill like we slipped from the slope
The facade deteriorates and the schism explodes
As the self fulfilling prophecy they christened unfolds
And they wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own

[Verse 3]
I shudder at the trauma these kids have to endure
Bestowing this shit on those that didn’t ask to be born
Where they level groomer claims, pedophiles in their ranks
Projecting their guilt to try reconciling the stains
But that dirty laundry was used to sew Confederate flags
As well as the Stars and Stripes of the electorate mass
That identifies a child as degenerate trash
Then vouch for those that draft laws if you step on their grass
It’s tragic how y’all got it so mother fucking confused
At the cost of these kids getting hunted up in their schools
Diagnosis apocalyptic but you give it a bandaid
That doesn’t mean shit like politicians and handshakes
They’re all out of ideas but they’ve been sticking to Plan A
Thinking they’ll stop the rise of Nazism with mandates
You wonder why these symptoms are unique to this country
It’s because they are this country and to see is disgusting

[Chorus]
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
And they wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own

[WTHR News: Disturbing video shows Uvalde parents pleading with police to go inside school]
"It then would be an hour before US Border Patrol and Tactical teams arrive and shoot and fatally kill the suspect. During that time, parents you can see here, they're showing up. They are in a crisis, they are begging police to get inside-to go save their kids! They are crying, they are screaming. And police there are holding them back-and telling them to stay back!"

[Refrain]
And they wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
They wonder why we ain’t having kids of our own
