The Other Side (no intro)

The water's gone black, or is that mold? I've got to clean my house with the only thing I own I reach in to find the stench of mildew is strong, I start to scrub, nausea takes hold I know it's too late, you can't separate the water from the mold Now slime is spreading across the surface And you can't just flip it over and try the other side You can't keep cleaning the same old mess with the other side of the same old dirty rag That smell will never go away Streaks are going to stain, better dry it out and light that trash on fire A pick between two, doesn't give me a voice If we only draw one line, that don't feel like choice We'll always polarize if there's only two sides I start to scrub, nausea takes hold I know it's too late, you can't separate the drama we are sold Now crime is spreading throughout our cities And you can't just start it over from the other side We need something else, something less used Not just pick a hand from the same old vampire Who's been around for two hundred years Just stake him in the chest, these tricks are growing tired Why is it that so many people are only drawn by party lines Not everything needs to be so political It's shocking how every issue becomes so polarized And simple conversations, now they feel so weaponized Of course we have opinions, and yes they'll always be different sides But how they fit so neatly into left-right ideology Starts to beg the question, who really does decide What we think, and how we act, and where we should divide You can't keep cleaning the same old mess with the other side of the same old dirty rag That smell will never go away, streaks are going to stain Better dry it out, and light that trash on fire We need something else, something less used Not just pick a hand from the same old vampire Who's been around for two hundred years Just stake him in the chest, these tricks are growing tired If you insist on those same old shitty rules I don't wanna play your game, that's it, fuck off, I'm done If you insist on those same old shitty rules I don't wanna play your game, that's it, fuck off, I'm done
