Lyrics

Verse 1 Kyle used to be cool, making jokes Now he's deep in the cult, spouting Facebook posts Used to drink beer, now he drinks the Kool-Aid Spreading the hate with the KKK

Pre-Chorus "Trump’s our savior," yeah, that’s what he said Parrots their mantras from his smoothed-brain head

Chorus I do not seek Kyle, I don’t want him back Lost in the MAGA craze, red cap attack I do not seek Kyle, stormed the Capitol Now he is a far right radical

Verse 2 Says "climate change is a liberal hoax" Worships Billionaires, such a stupid bloke Screams “free speech” and burns our books "Owns the libs" while the country’s cooked

Bridge I tried to warn you, but you won’t wake up Deep in the rabbit hole, fed by Zuck We used to play music, now it’s all rage Kyle is lost, consumed by hate

Last Chorus I do not seek Kyle, too far gone Thrown down the pipeline, fell for the con I do not seek Kyle, made his choice He can’t hear the truth over Fox noise

OH MY GAWD I just figured out that "seek Kyle" is perhaps a clever play on a troubling German phrase, made infamous around the middle 20th century. Great energy, love that you're drawing on the history of punk as political protest form. Having personified the cult as Kyle is a very effective tool. Favorite lines:" We used to play music, now it's all rage/Kyle is lost, consumed by hate." A sad story but well done song!
