WW3

I was just a kid in the 2000s when
People said you couldn't trust the government
A single mom and double shift to feed her kids, but
It worked out

I was still a kid in 2010
When people said you couldn't trust the internet
But I used it to escape and maybe find some friends, and
It worked out fine

They're making signs out of picket fences
Screaming like it's World War Three
Kids are leaving their schools to protest
Everything they see on TV
Hmm

I was still a kid in 2012
When you were switching schools before our brother left
We never really figured out the time difference, but
We're still fine

You think you're safe behind picket fences
But you find it harder to breathe
I'm sure the kids can outsmart the senate
Before it hits 200 degrees
Hmm

They tell us it's fucked
But we'll make it better
The world is on fire
Then I'll be your shelter

They tell us it's fucked
But we'll make it better
The world is on fire
Then I'll be your shelter

They tell us it's fucked (fuck your picket fence)
But we'll make it better (and your government)
The world is on fire (and the consequence)
Then I'll be your shelter (of all the arguments)

They tell us it's fucked (fuck your picket fence)
But we'll make it better (and your government)
The world is on fire (and the consequence)
Then I'll be your shelter (of all the arguments)

They're making signs out of picket fences
Screaming like it's World War Three
Kids are leaving their schools to protest
Everything they see on TV

You think you're safe behind picket fences
But you find it harder to breathe
I know the kids can outsmart the senate
Before it hits 200 degrees

I'm 21, crying like a little kid
The government officials tweet, "The world has gone to shit"
I pull double shifts just like my mother did
