When you say this is the calm before
The whole damn thing shuts down
You pray you’re right
I say you’re wrong
Though I know this slo-mo show is shown in every town
Things might feel okay some days
But soon enough it turns around
What you saw in my eyes
No more compromise
But in the end your prayers are gonna let you down
I don’t wanna be a dick
But then again I kind of do
Yo I know we have some history
But I’m done expecting more from you
Well here we are you’ve made decisions
That were never in your hands
I don’t want to turn this
Into a whole thing
Oh wait I guess that is exactly what I’m doing
I don’t wanna be a dick
But then again I kind of do
Yo I know we have a history of tension
But Christmas dinner is out of the question
And as you try to sleep tonight
And think about our fight
I hope you still hear my voice saying
Trans rights are human rights
The arrangements are complex and engaging, almost every song has a bridge that pulls you sideways in the best way, the lyrics are often simultaneously emotional and hilarious, and the strings, my God! John Brownell
