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!

fantastic blast of sanity in this crazy world! we all, sadly, know a few Kyles that have fallen into the cult...... love the music, great fit for the lyric! great production too...
