It could've been today, could've been next week
When the cops blew the whistle on the house party
That was some time ago and that was imminently
And it spun out of control, cyclically
And the trouble if you're thinking categorically
Is there's masculine, there's feminine, there's androgyny
And there's in and there's out, and then there's me
When the state comes to police the boundaries
I was brought up with religion
I'm no strangеr to faith
I learned to love thy nеighbor in like a hundred ways
But when there's social control masquerading as virtue
Well that's the type of guilt that won't do nothing for you
And they're drafting up a law a couple states away
Unambiguously, that's in the present day
When the cops blow the whistle on who you can be
And the riptide pulls you down, hey, hey
[Chorus]
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
To express oneself now expressly forbidden
That's a spiritual hell, that's a new prohibition
And they'll boil you down to reproductive function
When they see you as a vessel and not as a person
And then it's teachers on parents and parents on teachers
A culture of snitching and paranoid grievance
Students on teachers and teachers on kids
You go "blah blah blah blah freedom" but that's not what it is
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
Looking right through ya, ya, ya, ya!
Shut it down (shut it down, shut it down, shut it down)
Shut it down (shut it down, shut it down, shut it down)
Shut it down (shut it down, shut it down, shut it down)
(shut it down, shut it down, shut it down)
Shut it down (shut it down, shut it down, shut it down)
Shut it down
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
When ya do ya
Hallelujah
I see through ya
