Featuring Brenda Jane Meehan and David Jackson

lyrics

Chorus: It is what it is
Wouldn’t be if it wasn’t
Couldn’t be if it can’t
It is what it is
Brushfires in Oregon, brushfires in Washington
Orange skies
Orange days, orange nights
Don’t want to cause panic, don’t want a stock market crash
Just want to ignore it
It will all go away
(chorus)
Teenagers with guns, armed men in caravans
Boat parades!
Go Trump Go!
Let’s shoot a protestor, their lives don’t matter that much
Our livelihoods matter
Support our police!
(chorus)
No time for discussion, no room for reasoning
Black and White
No room for the gray
He might be offensive, he might tell a lie (or two or three)
He is who we need
And he’s never wrong. (chorus to end 2x)
