"That Debate" lyrics

"That Debate"

Last night I saw an archeological wonder
On the ESPN of war and lies
CNN's death rattle
An ancient species battled
Two fossils tryna poke each others eyes

Mom and dad are fighting in Atlanta
I'm online pricing lobotomies
I don't wanna get no dumber
But it's better than this bummer
Of believing in a false dichotomy

They open up their mouths
And nothing comes out
It's gonna take a lot more than the speed

I can't discern Verne
I can't perceive Steve
I don't understand, Jan
I don't know Joe
I don't know Joe

Last night I took a trip to the museum
I sat and stared at wax figurines
They gummed for about an hour
Fighting over power
Pathetic old and sad as they could be

Last night I saw the circle close around us
As I sat and thought about Déjà vu
And the sound that met my ears
Made all hope disappear
Jus' what constitutes elder abuse

I can't discern Verne
I can't perceive Steve
I don't understand Jan
I don't know Joe
I don't know Joe
