CULTURE WAR
We all ignored those words
for just a little too long
The sticks are in a bundle
and all we know is wrong
Now it's too late to apologize
and get to bed because it's time
Can't put it back in the bottle
Because we smashed that bottle up

On the dinner table,
I see the fragments of civil society
in the turkey and the cake
We can keep on drinking
ourselves into a culture war if we like
and I won't hold my tongue this time

Just because you're meaner
and your voices are louder
Doesn't mean you've got the right
to hurt anyone
who doesn't think like you

In the pumpkin pie,
I taste the shards of civil society
Cut my gums and break my teeth
Well, It's too late now to apologize
and get to bed because it's time
Though I never wanted this culture war

There will always be a culture war
