Misery Index - New Salem

Lyrics to New Salem by Misery Index

Sharpen up the guillotine, as fashionistas clean the scene You’re socially bewitched with narrative affixed Tried and executed with no due process Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting? It's a fucking witch-hunt, somebody's head's gotta roll… In New Salem Burn the books, rename the streets, nothing is safe, suppress the speech A virtual conflict, binary logic, who the fuck is the strawman now? Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting? It's a fucking witch-hunt, co-opted activists divide and conquer us Somebody's head's gotta roll New Salem, somebody's head's gotta roll, new Salem Co-opted activists divide and conquer us Somebody's head's gotta roll In a pacified endemic state, it's another echo-chamber slave Addicted to extremes of ideologies Where left and right amalgamate and hang us from their tallest trees Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting? It's a fucking witch-hunt, somebody's head's gotta roll In an echo chamber no one can hear you scream Burning the strawman in this knee-jerk nightmare, Roiling in all your virtue valor, awakening as a victim martyr, Freedom fighter, or bald-faced instigator? Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting? It's a fucking witch-hunt, somebody's head's gotta roll New Salem, Somebody's head's gotta roll, new Salem Co-opted activists divide and conquer us Somebody's head's gotta roll
