A Snowflake In Winter
I like to think that I'm a deep thinker
And I'm pretty sure that I'm a person with conviction
But in reality I know
I'm a snowflake in winter
Blown along on the wind of the latest liberal opinion
No way
Snowflake
Every tut at the newspaper sets off a chemical reaction
And every opinion piece you read
Is accompanied
By a tiny dopamine release
And I'm afraid to say
Exposés don't necessitate action
Holding a mirror to an ugly face
Doesn't change the reflection
No way
Snowflake
And believing the general public
Will level-headedly consider
All the available facts and figures
Before rushing to make rash decisions
And form erroneous opinions
Is ridiculous as believing
The late-night polemics
Of ego-centric and overzealous television presenters
Can bring about the downfall
Of a tyrannical president
