"Pick Mine" lyrics

My brother's had it with the new administration
He's in love with another man, so I can't say that I blame him
My mama's bound to die without her medication
The factory went overseas, and Obamacare quit payin'
Everyone's so mad, is there anything worth saying?

When my daddy lost his job, he fed us with a rifle
But there's a man I call a friend who buried his own child
And our choice to fix it all is Prozac or a Bible
And they wonder why my generation's suicidal
Got people that I love on both sides
Tellin' me to pick mine

They're all so convinced that the other one's crazy
And I'm supposed to choose whichever I want to hate me
I hear em' scream from both sides
Tellin' me to pick mine

Everyone's shoutin', sayin' now's the time to rise up
They find somethin' that we love and use it to divide us
It keeps us distracted so some billionaire can buy us
Land of the free it seems has never been more tied up
Got voices in my head on both sides
Tellin' me to pick mine

They're all so convinced that the other one's crazy
And I'm supposed to choose which half I want to hate me
I'm sick of the fightin', God, I don't like that, I'm gettin' used to
Another bullet flyin', startin' up a riot, it's more than bad news
Whole world's in my head on both sides
Tellin' me to pick mine
Tellin' me to pick mine

No matter how you feel, I bet you got a reason
And you're probably valid in the anger that you're feelin'
But if you'd rather be red or blue than a decent human being
We ain't the same, it's just the same air that we're breathin'
It's keepin' me up late at night
This world that I love's on both sides
Tellin' me to pick mine
Tellin' me to pick mine
Tellin' me to pick mine
Tellin' me to pick mine
Tellin' me to pick mine
