about

Words and Music by Pat Westmacott
Featuring Mark Russel on vocals, and Jim Martin on the rant

lyrics

It’s pervasive
All consuming it’s reach
Spreading like a virus
Between commercial breaks

So persuasive
Facts succumb to belief
Governed by amygdala
And armed to the teeth

We’ve been divided by a negative
Sights set on each other
Tribal warfare in the street

Divided by a negative
Amplified and multiplied
Division and deceit

Its containment
Of opinion televised
Turning on each other
Conditioned to despise

At the arraignment
Flashing white power signs
Dog whistle signals
Hate on the rise
