I know a lot of people are upset about the election. I think a huge problem is partisan news sources that only feed the flames of angst between the two sides. Tom MacDonald has a song called Me Vs You that is actually really fair to both sides and provides a good perspective. These are the lyrics:
Me Vs You
by Tom MacDonald
RED:
I’m the one that you hate for makin’ America great
BLUE:
And I’m the one who’s tryna build back better, we ain’t the same
RED:
Yeah, you’re right, there’s a difference, y’all are woke and we’re awake
BLUE:
What a joke, does white privilege have somethin’ to say?
RED:
Your president drove the country into the ground
The crime rate is through the roof, there ain’t no jobs to be found
Inflation goin’ up, my kids need food in they mouths
You put the fake news on every TV screen in my house
BLUE:
Hold up, y’all president, a racist homophobic
Tried to overthrow democracy and everybody knows it
He will never make America great again like the slogan
He a white supremist just like all of you who voted
RED:
That is not facts, all you woke morons do is talk trash
Drag queens in classrooms, hate anyone who’s not black
BLUE:
You’re pro-white? You know that’s what the Klan members are, right?
You’re anti-LGBTQ, then why they always on your mind?
RED:
Bro, you’re a boy, you’re a girl, stop playin’ stupid
You’re screwin’ up the youth and the children are our future
BLUE:
You don’t care about the kids, look at all the school shootings
You’re pro-gun, it’s your fault, stop makin’ those excuses
RED:
You think anyone who don’t agree with you is just a bigot
BLUE:
You’re a fascist, you’re a Nazi,
RED:
you just mad because you’re triggered
BLUE:
You’re just jealous of the left ’cause we’re progressive and we’re winnin’
RED:
Nah, I’m trippin’ that you won the election because you rigged it
CHORUS:
They put you on the left, they put you on the right
They tell you what to hate, then they tell you who to fight
‘Til you’re screamin’, “I hate you!”, screamin’, “I hate you!”
They put you on the right, they put you on the left
They tell you who to hate
They do anything to get you screamin’, “I hate you!”
Screamin’, “I hate you!”
RED:
My president drainin’ the swamp, we buildin’ walls
Your president opened the border for one and all
Now there’s murderers and criminals evadin’ the law
Walkin’ right into America, our safety is gone
BLUE:
Well, my president ended pandemics, saved the economy
And introduced legislation fightin’ for our equality
RED:
His son smokes crack,
BLUE:
I don’t care about that honestly
He’s raisin’ all our wages,
RED:
he can’t raise his children properly
BLUE:
You obviously pro-life, a woman’s choice is your right
I feel like abortion is important, and you don’t, like
RED:
You’re treatin’ it like birth control,
BLUE:
you’re treatin’ them like you’re white
RED:
I said that ‘all lives matter’, and I also meant unborn life
BLUE:
You’re so clever, go ahead, make your little memes
While we’re bringin’ home the soldiers who were in the Middle East
RED:
Okay, you brought the soldiers home, but then you burned the flag and took a knee
And left the men who fought for all our freedom homeless on the street
BLUE:
Build back better, there’ll be violence and riots
Until you bible thumpers learn to fall in line and trust the science
RED:
We ain’t ever backin’ down from all you pedos and tyrants
The right is fightin’ the system that left designed to divide us
BLUE:
And that is clown talk, all you got is mean tweets
RED:
It’s free speech,
BLUE:
call the cops,
RED:
dawg, you defunded the police
BLUE:
The country would be better off without all you freaks
RED:
This is America, homie, if you don’t like it, you can leave
CHORUS:
They put you on the left, they put you on the right
They tell you what to hate, then they tell you who to fight
‘Til you’re screamin’, “I hate you!”, screamin’, “I hate you!”
They put you on the right, they put you on the left
They tell you who to hate
They do anything to get you screamin’, “I hate you!”
Screamin’, “I hate you!”
THE REST OF US:
No president will ever give a damn ’bout the truth
It don’t matter who’s the winner ’cause the people always lose
No president will ever break the system from inside
It’s a deep state plan, dividin’ us into sides
It don’t matter if you’re left, right, black, white, red, blue
Conservative or liberal, rich, poor, me, you
Republican or Democrat, old, young, mean, cool
They promise us our freedom but then all we get is free doom
CHORUS:
They put you on the left, they put you on the right
They tell you what to hate, then they tell you who to fight
‘Til you’re screamin’, “I hate you!”, screamin’, “I hate you!”
They put you on the right, they put you on the left
They tell you who to hate
They do anything to get you screamin’, “I hate you!”
Screamin’, “I hate you!”
