Snowflakes

Tom MacDonald

7

If you lie to the government, they′ll put you in prison

But when they lie to all of us, it's called being a politician

You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killingsBut you′re pro-choice, abortion kills way more children

If America's so terrible and racist

It probably isn't safe to encourage immigration, just saying

All the contradictions are embarrassing

You know who hates America the most?

Americans

Trigger warnings used to be on TV for seizures

And now they′re everywhere to protect millennials′ feelings

He, she, his, him, hers, them, they

Screw a pronoun 'cause everyone′s a retard these days

I hear 'em preaching at the protest that hatred′s the problem

But hating straight men, white folks, and Christians is common

Coca-Cola telling people they should be less white

They preaching tolerance, but if you disagree, they fight

There's a race war here, elections based on fear

Black lives only matter once every four years

Soldiers died for this country and every one of us benefits

Give welfare to the bums and forget about the veterans

Black folks and white folks divided by the news

But we are all the same, we are red, white, and blue

Ashamed to be American? Okay, that′s cool

'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too

Y'all are so fake, oh, no

The forecast said that there′d be snowflakes, whoa

You can′t make us see it your way, no way

Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh, no

No more snowflakes

They set us up to fail, that's what they built the system for

Put an ammunition shop across the street from a liquor store

Empowering women used to be different than this before

The role models got OnlyFans or dance on a stripper pole

Screw it, I ain′t tripping, I don't mean to be mean

But if our children are the future, then our future is bleak

They take an Adderall to focus, hit McDonald′s to eat

They're addicted to phones, and they take Xanax to sleep

They blurred the lines, dividing communism and democracy

In 2021, we paint the patriots as Nazis

The men playing women′s sports get trophies for winning

Like great, let's celebrate a man for beating some women

If you're black, your life matters, you′re supposed to embrace it

If you′re rich or you're smart, then you′re probably Asian

If you're gay, then you′re brave, all of that I'm okay with

But if you′re white, the stereotype is you are a racist

Blaming capitalism like that's the reason things are tough

While you tweet from an iPhone and sip on a Starbucks

You're supporting what you stand against, you don′t think you are, but

A Percocet addict don′t donate money to pharma

Damn, dawg, we're all afraid to speak the truth

And the more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do

You′re ashamed to be American, okay that's cool

′Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too

Y'all are so fake, oh, no

The forecast said that there′d be snowflakes, whoa

You can't make us see it your way, no way

Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh, no

No more snowflakes

We could all get along, but there's no stopping, ay

Everybody′s wrong, that′s a real problem, ay

They don't wanna hear it, but they′re still talking, ay

Soon enough we're running outta options, ay

This ain′t gonna end 'til it′s in a coffin, ay

We ain't gon' be friends ′til we try to squash it, ay

I don′t know how we can make amends or we drop it

Snowflakes melt when it's hot, kid

Y′all are so fake, oh, no

The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa

You can′t make us see it your way, no way

Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh, no

No more snowflakes
