Intro: Ted James Hey, yo, 12:08, Mile High time Back in the lab n' shit Verse One: Ted James My wife said, he’s like a flame to a moth Just turn it off, they’ll be feeding at the trough I said turn it off or I’m going to bed But we’re still waiting on Wisconsin and she’s gonna pull ahead Dead wrong, somehow I lost my perspective I never could believe this sociopath would get elected It’s getting hard to breath, oxygen neglected Our values under siege by his bigoted invective No sleep, mind spinning, so dejected The example he will set and how our kids will be affected In deep, our democracy too unperfected When every fourth time we vote the will of the people’s unreflected I know this is a complete disaster The planet is warming and drop dead is coming faster To hell with the warnings, our destruction met with laughter When he’s tweeting it’s a hoax to play his puppets like a master Fake news, alternative facts Jenn comes out the room suffering a panic attack There’s no turning back, the racists took the country back Obama’s decency now martyred for the sin of being black The vibes like a funeral, feel like I need to call a florist How can Republicans not see? Donald Trump is a tourist. Born rich con-man, blowhard at its purest I guess snake oil sells to poisoned hearts and minds malnourished Jenn Jenn asks me to rub her back to make the anxiety subside She says she wants to pack and get to the Canadian side But she knows we won’t do that, in the struggle’s where we reside We’ve gotta stay and fight to make it past 45 Chorus: Jennifer & Ted James Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Peep the Instagram filter beaming through democracy’s cracks In the streets we’ll learn to fly until we take our ladders back Verse Two: Ted James I’m tryin’a awaken the spirits of millions more to come Xennials can see the future downloading the truth over some drums We believe in the children, listen to the kids, bro The economy is rigged and oligarchy is a shit show Why in Christ’s sake can’t you hand over the reigns? Four more years without a pivot, what kind of future remains? This shit's insane, got a pistol to the brains Of the kinfolk that sustain, straight up sentencing life to pain Jenn is ABD with a pile of student debt Works 200 hours a month for a 1000 dollar check Now what sane mind would misconstrue that as respect? Neoliberals sneaky when y’all dealing from the bottom of the deck (Bottom of the deck) Verse Three: Ted James (Yo) The country's ready to change and your standing in the way So with all due respect, sorry, have a nice day Tim Cook, made you look, take a hike out by the Bay Steve Jobs had a vision, you said how much can it pay? Tim Sloan should be in prison, the wheels are off & we don’t play I gotta say, John Legere left Magenta with a pay day like he’s Dre Now we’re getting #JusticeAtTmobile 💯 like the very next day Good thing we organized TU and gave #uncarrier some cache Now I’m PF Wu-Tang, I’mma ride that to the death When credit unions act like banks, what we the people we got left? Delta raking in the cash, said video games are kind of best Solidarity with AFA, I can feel that in my chest The Guild kicked off a revolution, and now it’s in the PDX You’re not granting voluntary? Then we’re cutting off the checks Just to stress, we formed a movement, now we’re on you like a pest And if you pull a Cenk Uygur, don’t claim Bernie from your set Bridge: Jennifer James Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Will I live to see 45, will I live to see 45? Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 We the people only half alive, we the people only half alive Gotta make it past 45 Will I live to see 45, will I live to see 45? Gotta make it past 45 We the people only half alive, we the people only half alive Verse Four: Ted James The movement isn’t Bernie, he told us it is us And I’mma fight for us forever, call me Bernie or bust We should be in sunny Hawaii at a luau, just us Instead we’re holed up in the booth trying to make the system bust We love to travel together, that’s what gives us our endurance Then they grounded us to a halt cause they’re ill prepared to cure this Sometimes a world in crisis let’s us know who's a purist It might also let us know if Joe Biden is a tourist So, yes, we’re calling on us all to fight back, utilize If your Facebook is your ego, make it a tool to organize The digital is open, question is, who wants the prize? We can transform the country, all we got to do is rise To the moment that we’re in, we should try to stick together There’s people lonely, people hungry and in the streets seeking shelter There’s people contacting a virus that will not get better To them we say we’re in the fight, solidarity forever Chorus: Ted & Jennifer James Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Gotta make it past 45, gotta make it past 45 Peep the Instagram filter beaming through democracy’s cracks In the streets we’ll learn to fly until we take our ladders back
