"Americana" lyrics

I find the less I know, the better
So I give up control, no pressure
So far left to go, won't measure
My mind's in Mexico, warm weather
If all the lesser evils hurt the people, what's the need
I guess we'll have our date with destiny

Americana, don't you want to escape
They don't want you, that's a ton of hate
Marijuana, just to numb the pain (yeah)

I find the older I get, the less that I care about
You can watch the news, there's always something to swear about
Regardless of your views, we could use a fair amount
As if we got to choose, red or blue, I guess there's nowhere to use them
I'm guessing I'll take my queue, to roll this swisher
Don't let them use you for the picture why you hold your fist up
They want me to vote for the dick that looks bigger
I'm not a liberal or conservative's nigga (word)

I find the less I know, the better
So I give up control, no pressure
So far to left go, won't measure
My mind's in Mexico, warm weather
If all the lesser evils hurt the people, what's the need
I guess we'll have our date with destiny

If silence is violence, we're all quiet about something
If I sign your petitions I'll eventually vomit
Every cause in the world is a lot to be stomached
A deck full of dark magicians when that history's summoned (yeah)
I know the future's looking dimmer than the light
But I'm only a human with thoughts and feelings inside
If I don't post an opinion immediately at the time
You can't equate it to somebody dying
We're all trying

Man, this world is so crazy
And I think we are all just trying to process it in our own ways
I think everyone should fight for what they believe in
But at the same time not everyone's meant to be an activist or
Fight things the same way as you, so why make more enemies
Some of us are gonna express ourselves through art
And some of us through the way we live our life
