Lyrics

Head Full of Garbage

Air Force Veteran, 14 years
Left the military for another career
Married, three kids, California girl
Ran a pool service business, Fowler’s World
“The storm is coming”- she was part of the throng
“Nothing will stop us, three million strong!”

At the US Capitol, a woman dies
Head full of garbage, bullshit and lies

She supported Obama, then drifted to Trump
And all of his lies, she just ate them up.
“The election was stolen, the election was rigged,”
“It’s there on the Simpsons, they’re stealing our kids.”
“I don’t wear a mask, it’s all just a hoax.”
“Why wouldn’t they stop at stealing your votes.”

At the US Capitol, a woman dies
Head full of garbage, bullshit and lies.

She was part of a threesome, love all around
The force of one bullet drove her to the ground
A riot dispersed with one deadly sound.

At the US Capitol, a woman dies
Head full of garbage, bullshit and lies
Head full of lies.
