He woke up everyday without stirring, lazing around wasting anytime
On the trivialities of the morning like the flickering light
Pour a to-go cup of coffee leave in hurry from his kids and his wife
Get the day going
Start the ignition
Just put it in drive
Every morning he would drive past
Minimum wagers
Gaze in the black
It simply amazed him how they got by
Fools for a life
Fools for a life
He was a member of the Christian Right and an asshole day and night
Fear-baiting about a socialist scare that he saw somewhere on Facebook Live
He was a member of the holiest high and a bitter motherfucker inside
Some nights he even carried it over into his dreams
He liked to think about the sinners and losers
Of this whole board game monopoly life
And all the different combinations of ways they could die
Maybe hunger, famine, gunfire
Crossing some border trying to make a life
It simply amazed him
Why they'd even try
Fools for a life
Fools for a life
He was a member of the Christian Right and an asshole day and night
Fear-baiting about a feminist scare that he found somewhere on Facebook Live
He was a member of the privileged white but somehow still a victim in his own eyes
Every night he carried all of his spite over into his dreams
All the money in the world couldn't buy
And end to his anger and spite
Time with family
Time precious time
Fool for a life
Fool for a life
He was a member of the Christian Right and an asshole day and night
Fear-baiting about an immigrant scare that he saw somewhere on Facebook Live
He was a member of the holiest high and a fearful motherfucker inside
Fear-baiting about a Muslim scare that he saw somewhere on Facebook Live
He was a member of the GOP 2020 coping with election denial
Fear-baiting an election scare that he saw somewhere with his very eyes
He was member of the privileged white somehow still a victim in his own mind
Fear baiting about an immigrant scare that he saw somewhere with his very eyes
Fear baiting about a feminist scare that he saw somewhere he can't deny
Fear baiting about a black lives scare that he saw somewhere he was mortified
Fear baiting about a deep state scare that he saw somewhere on Facebook Live
Fear baiting about a socialist scare that he saw somewhere in a virtual life
