lyrics

This is a simple little song to sing throughout the land
It’s not trying to be bold, it’s not trying to be grand
It’s not a song that’s clever, or filled with highs and lows
It’s a simple little song, and this is how it goes:

La la la la la la la, la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la, la, la, la
La la la la la la, la la la la la.

It’s a simple little song: it’s not heavy, it’s not fraught
It distracts me from the coming neo-Nazi juggernaut
Yes, it’s a simple little song, you can sing it if you try
When I do, I don’t remember that we’re gonna freakin’ die.

La la la…

It’s hard to write a simple song in dark and troubled times
I want it light and fluffy, but there’s too much on my mind
I want it to be happy—maybe wistful, at the most,
But I smell the smoke around us, and it’s clear that we’re all toast

It’s a simple little song, it was meant for everyone
And like our whole republic, I guess it’s almost done
I hope it makes you happy and cuts right through the gloom
As we hold our heads up high and go bravely to our doom.

La la la…
