Ticking (Part Tres)

An extremely quiet guy" they called you in the news report
"He's always taken interest in the protests that he ought"
So what was it that brought the squad car screaming up your drive
To notify your family of the manner in which you died

At the protests every Sunday, Bernie Sanders heard your dreams
"Oh, he's unconcerned with competition he's a socialist"
But blood now stained those hands that never held a gun
And liberals never thought of him as a troubled one

"Trump is the now the devil" Maddow said
Remember Maddow said
Ticking, ticking
"Vote up straight and true blue
Get it in your head"
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking

He had them holed up on a downtown baseball practice field
Someone said "His brain's just snapped" then someone called the police
You'd shot at second base and a congressman went down
Oh you aimed your gun and shot while they all laid still on the ground

Trying to kill each one, providing they were still
A young man tried to make a break, with rage-filled eyes you stilled
That gun butt felt so smooth and warm cradled in your palm
Oh your fascist dreams filled your head "they deserve to be harmed"

"Trump is the Russian's friend" Maddow said
Remember Maddow said
Ticking, ticking
"This is your life in hell
Fear's what they're fed"
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking

Within an hour the news had reached the media machine
A male Caucasian with a gun shooting in DC
The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school
Fourteen people hiding in the dugout on the practice field

You've lost your last shred of sanity for the sake of liberals
"You took your gun, aimed it slowly but some shots were high"
But they pumped you full of bullet shells as you stepped on the field
Oh you fell in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law

"This is your life in hell" Maddow said
Remember Maddow said
Ticking, ticking
"Crazy boy, you'll only wind up with strange notions in your head"
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
