Song that weighs in on the weighty deep and darkening state we're in.

The Deep Dark State Is Coming

by John Kendall Hawkins

.

It's comin down hard on the 99

and there's a sign up ahead in the rain

and just up the road is the Deep Dark State

all the economies have sh*t the bed

and democracy's funeral's running late

the sign's lit up, the trap is set with bait

it feels like the night of the living dead

pinch myself hard, feel the exquisite pain

and I drive past the exit ramp instead

holocaust thoughts go coursing through my head

.

O the deep dark state is coming

no, the deep dark state is here

the deep dark state is coming

your number's up, fear fear

.

Back seat Henry Kissinger's goin down

on the latest Dick Nixon blow up clown

and all the men of means and thunder claps

are eager beavers ready to explode

those new-fang AI fists-of-fury chaps

have the goddamned thing wholly under wraps

they're just waitin in the dark for the code

then it's lookee there at what Jesus found

a squashed foggy brain on the ancient road

Nancy's boy K lets go his anxious load

.

O the deep dark state is coming

no, the deep dark state is here

the deep dark state is coming

your number's up, fear fear

.

In the limo's vast trunk lies a body

chauffeur on the autobahn, and oddly

I fear the missing body may be mine

and feel the urgent need to darkly sing

o somewhere I crossed the boundary line

lost the plot, now it's all a double-bind

skies filled with shadows of the devil's wing

fall down deep upon me creepy godly

on the radio Albino Boys sing

we don't give a sh*t, ka-ching-a-ling-ding

.

O the deep dark state is coming

no, he deep dark state is here

the deep dark state is coming

your number's up, fear fear

.

O coming down hard on the 99

and in the rearview's all I left behind

feeling blue and empty and outta sorts

and my ride's beginning to hydroplane

and there's nowhere to go by all reports

the fascist threats are getting no retorts

feel like I'm going going gone insane

lightning clouds of the new dark divine

I'm just gliding down the road in the rain

marking the radial tracks of my pain

.

O the deep dark state is coming

no, the deep dark state is here

the deep dark state is coming

your number's up, fear fear

your number's up, fear fear

your number's up, fear fear
