        E                                      G
I can't tell you what's worse, the message was terse
                    E                  G
Outright white supremacists or America First, I think they both sell merch
E                     G
The whole place seems a little bit cursed
          Asus2                    C
It's like somebody might have been living here first

E                        G
Incels in cellars from a long line of failures
           E                      G
Underneath rumble umbrellas daily wiring with the fellas
        E                                    G
Chromag MAGA hate cave dwellers, The tale is older than the tellers
            Asus2                 C
The tail is older than old yeller
 
 
The internet is incarnate, manifested, given birth
There's some spillage in a village not far from where I'm living here on earth
It's a disgrace to the natural state, there ain't much that ain't
Hey Bill, Hey Billy, Hey Sarah, Hey Tom, Hey Mike

Everything is constantly unlike anything you've ever seen before
Everything is greater than it's ever been before
Pardon the progress, hate is part of the process
Catastrophic nostalgia and delusions of freedom, I think we ate the last apple in the garden of Eden
 

Chorus:
        E                      G
All the masks are off and they don't even try
               E                                G
They know that you know that they know and they don't even mind it
        E                         G
All the masks are off and they're getting lazy
               Asus2                          C
They think your so damn stupid, they think your so damn crazy
 
 
Killing people from a distance in an instant at the insistence of a president
With a black mail gun to his head for the fun that he had in the dark ages
Pages and pages and pages and pages, they thought they'd get away with it
The minimum wage is outraged with it, they're gonna burn someone at the stake for it

Fruit of the doom, oranges and grapists, hold on to your vapes kids
Icicles and alligators and blood traitors and purveyors of strange behaviors
And masqueraders and masked invaders, layers and layers and layers
Be good to your God and be good to your Bayer
Take your aspirin and your Roundup and say all your prayers
 
Chorus
 
The loogie of factions that the nation has hacked
Is boiling and festering and stabbing itself in the back
Who here is surprised by that, who here is blown aghast
If you wanna know the future, simply look into the past

Chorus


All the masks are off
All the masks are off
All the masks are off
All the masks are off
