(What a, What a, What a, What a) What a fucking time to be alive What a fucking time to watch the world burn while inside I'm laughing to the gallows Nothing else to do but cry What a fucking time to be alive Imagining a leader who didn't hate Imagining a leader who cared for people over ratings Who didn't kick when folks were down just to put them in their place Imagining a leader who didn't hate Tell your poor that they deserve to die And if she calls you out, then she's a bitch for stepping out of line 'Cause you know it's a sign of weakness to apologise What a fucking time to be alive Try to punish us 'cause someone punished you Try to fix the hole inside with money, tanks and troops I'm laughing to the gallows, nothing else to do but cry But when you're on your own deathbed In your golden cell up on 5th Ave And your kids don't care 'cause they never did And your base can't cheer you out of it With no little people left to hit And no tricks left to try Millions will still cry What a fucking time to be alive
