Hallelujah

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
