HEATHER HEYER
I BARELY KNOW YOUR NAME
BUT WHEN THAT NAZI BOY RAN YOU DOWN IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
YOU LANDED IN MY SONG
HEATHER
IT’S NOT ON YOU
YOU WERE IN YOUR OWN TOWN
ON YOUR OWN STREETS
WITH YOUR OWN PEOPLE
BUT THEN IT HAPPENED
AND NOW YOU’RE GONE
AND HEATHER
I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO SAY
YOU HAD A RIGHT TO BE THERE
STANDING JUST WHERE YOU STOOD
AND HEATHER
I STAND WITH YOU
HEATHER
ALL THAT AFTERNOON
AS YOUR STILL ANONYMOUS GHOST
HAUNTED MY BRAND NEW SONG
I FOUND MYSELF GUESSING WHAT HAD HAPPENED
DOWN THERE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE
I GUESSED THAT SOME POOR FOOL
WHO GOT TO FEEL IMPORTANT WHEN HE HATED IN LOCK-STEP
WAS FEELING HIS OATS THAT DAY
I GUESSED IT WAS A GUY
AND I GUESSED HE TOOK SOME INSPIRATION FROM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES
AND HEATHER - IT SHOULDN’T BE THAT WAY
CUZ HEATHER - WE’RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THAT
BUT HEATHER - IT TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE
NOW THE LIGHTS ARE OUT
NO ONE’S COMING HOME TONIGHT
AND THE NEIGHBORS STILL DON’T KNOW
HEATHER HEYER
I STILL BARELY KNOW YOUR NAME
AND YOU OUGHT TO STILL BE WITH US
BUT YOU AREN’T
AND SOME DAY
SOME DAY
WHEN THE GOOD PEOPLE OF CHARLOTTESVILLE
PUT ROBERT E LEE TO SLEEP IN A MUSEUM WHERE HE BELONGS
THERE WILL BE AN EMPTY SPOT IN THE PARK
WHERE HIS STATUE USED TO STAND
AND I KNOW
YOU DIDN’T SIGN UP TO BE OUR HERO ON A PEDESTAL
LONELY ABOVE THE GREEN
BUT HEATHER
IT WOULDN’T BE JUST YOU
WE COULD ALL BE THERE TOGETHER
STATUES ON THE GREEN TOGETHER
WHERE THE BRAVE ONES STOOD TOGETHER IN THE TORCH LIGHT
HEATHER HEYER
I GUESS I KNOW YOUR NAME
AND HEATHER
I STAND WITH YOU

I grasp with tiny digits like a child
At everything to which I feel entitled.
I came with clowns and midgets, Barnum-style
Till I had all these idiots running wild.
You want to be protected
You want that wall erected
You're scared and disaffected
Your rage is misdirected
My lies go undetected
My thoughts are disconnected
I did the unexpected,
Somehow I got elected -
And now I've never been surer
Oh yeah, I Wanna Be Your Fuhrer.
Whether I'm Fascist or Conservative
Depends on which side of the tracks you live
While you watch monster trucks go off the ramps
I'll put your neighbors in detention camps
That Constitution's inconvenient
Just trust in me, I'll be so lenient
Don't care who pays or whether lives are lost
Just so I get to be the Final Boss.
