“The New Sensation” is an anthemic rock song that seems to express discontent with the political status quo. The song clearly takes aim at the Trump administration, but as a whole, serves as a call to arms for the people to rise up in opposition against the current political climate.
Despite the po...
[Verse 1]
Tell me it's alright, even if it is a lie
'Cause I don't want to hear it's just a blessing in disguise
I read between the lines, given up on warning signs
But now we must face the truth, it's order in decline (Hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
If this will persist, then we will resist
[Chorus]
Now it's your right, 'cause every dog has got its day
And we will fight, resist in every way
Your time is up
[Verse 2]
Now I'm not one to talk, 'cause I know I have my faults
But even I know you can't evolve by building up your walls
I can't help but criticize as you tear me down to size
For all that you've done to help perpetuate the lies
A job well done
[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey, hey, hey)
If this will persist
(Hey, hey, hey)
Then we will resist
[Chorus]
Now it's your right, 'cause every dog has got its day
We're here to fight, resist in every way
Now it's your right, it doesn't mean that it's okay
The end's in sight, 'cause every dog will have its day
Your time is up, up
[Bridge]
As days get stranger, the pain gets greater
Is it human nature or am I insane?
The confrontation, the aggravation
The new sensation, well, who's to blame?
The days get stranger, the pain gets greater
Is it human nature or am I insane?
The confrontation across this nation
The new sensation, tell me who's to blame
[Chorus]
Now it's your right, 'cause every dog has got its day
We're here to fight, resist in every way
(Hey, hey, hey)
Now it's your right, it doesn't mean that it's okay
(Hey, hey, hey)
The end's in sight, 'cause every dog will have its day
Your time is up

I’ve been saying this is not political record, because I’m not really speaking about anything specific. But there’s certain themes and things that were just floating around out there in my mind. So things start to kind of creep in. I remember writing this song around the 2018 midterm elections in th...
