[Verse 1]
Sharpen up the guillotine as fashionistas clean the scene
You're socially bewitched with narrative affixed
Tried and executed with no due process
[Chorus]
Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting?
It’s a f*cking witch hunt
Somebody's head's gotta roll
In New Salem
[Verse 2]
Burn the books, rename the streets
Nothing is safe, suppress the speech
A virtual conflict, binary logic
Who the f*ck is the straw man now?
[Chorus]
Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting?
It’s a f*cking witch hunt
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
[Post-Chorus]
New Salem
New Salem
New Salem
Co-opted activists, somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem
New Salem
New Salem
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting?
It’s a f*cking witch hunt
Somebody’s head's gotta roll
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
In an echo chamber no one can hear you scream
Burning the straw man in this knee-j*rk nightmare
Roiling in all your virtue valor, awakening as a victim martyr
Freedom fighter, or bald-faced instigator?
[Chorus]
Do you fight the good fight? Or instigate the fighting?
It’s a f*cking witch hunt
Somebody's head's gotta roll
New Salem
New Salem
New salem
Somebody's head’s gotta roll
New Salem
New Salem
New Salem
Co-opted activists divide and conquer us
Somebody's head's gotta roll
