The re-election

The re-election

I’ve decided to become a racist
I’ve decided not to care what I do
I’m never going to recycle again
Taking my employer’s side on every issue

I’m cheering on the fascists
Eating endangered species
Buying the largest SUV 
With police stickers on the windshield 

Just to get along it feels so good
Giving up my humanity 
It's such a small price to pay-
What has it ever done for me?
