about

This version of this song came after the Charlottesville rally.

lyrics

The sky is made of ice and it is falling
the ground is frozen cold, it's out of view.
It's not holding me up like it used to,
it's not holding me.

Kids can cook with weed on TV now
making meals that cost more than my car
I doubt they get that channel at the jails
where the old city dealers are

And I want there to be sense
It just gets hard to see
The sky is made of ice and it is falling falling falling
on me.

You've got one side saying "We matter. Stop shooting us in the street."
but the other side is sure that they're superior,
and that any problems that arise must be from both sides equally

and I want there to be sense
those torches make it hard to discuss
the sky is made of ice and it is falling falling falling
on all of us.

then you've got that man in the office
some people call him #45
but he sounds just like that dude
who'd punch the wall instead of you
and say "If you tell anybody, I'll just say you lied."

and I want there to be sense
but big men don't listen to girls.
the sky is made of ice and it is falling falling falling
on the whole world.

You've got some white people saying, "I'm not privileged!
I've worked hard for nothing all my life!"
but I bet you twenty bucks
they aren't afraid of death by cops
just for driving around
with a broken tail light.

And I want there to be sense
I want to watch their last argument fall apart.
The sky is made of ice and it is falling falling falling
on our broken hearts.
