Little Scream - Dear Leader Lyrics

Dear leader
Your perfume smells like
Smoke from the pyre of the peace-bearing dove
A boot stepping on the face
Of everything I've ever loved

Dear leader
Dear leader

And all those racists who would kill
For their law and order
Can go ahead and build their walls
On every single border
Build them right between the hands
Of a mother and daughter
You can fix that little girl up
Right after you've bought her

But it's only right that you should choose
Who you accept and who you refuse
But when the waters rise
It's gonna be you, Miami

Dear leader
Dear leader

And when you go out looking
For an ark to get in
You will ask your god
But he'll be busy getting risen
And the rich will be too busy
Buying all that stock in private prisons
That's where they'll send you for talking about socialism

Now Silicon Valley's prepping
For the fall of Capitol Hill
Don't wanna fight
But if we have to we will
Hurt rather than maim
Maim rather than kill

Dear leader
Dear leader

This is real life now it's not a test
As the curtain falls and the chaos crests
There's only one thing that's as strong as death
And love is all passes every test
Yes love is all that we'll have left
Yes love will be all that we'll have left

I'm an old fashioned girl, still believe in democracy
But we can only choose things that we can see
And the dark money is rising like the warming coastal sea

Dear leader
Dear leader

Now all the biggest of our nation
I'll greet you with a pink carnation
All the witches in the house
Let us say our incantations
Because the new messiah
She's facing incarceration
Will the Ocean Goddess rise
To take back all the plantations

Is there some history
That we aren't doomed to repeat?
I've watched the History Channel
And human nature is hard to beat
Some say it's bad luck
It's just the fruit of our dreams
And dear leader
The future is a scream
