SNAP
Why are we cutting food aid while millions of Americans are starving?
This 1-minute song addresses the disappearing SNAP benefits and the urgent crisis of hunger in America. I wrote this piece as a direct critique of misplaced political priorities, including the ideological agenda of Project 2025, which seems determined to dismantle the social safety net.
We have the resources, but institutional failure and partisan blame ("blame it on Democrats") keeps the hungry in need. I challenge the hypocrisy of Christian Nationalism and demand that we focus on economic justice and real compassion, not grandstanding.
Lyrics:
SNAP
There it goes
Gone in a flash
They say the well's run dry
And blame it on Democrats
But millions of Americans
Don't care about that
Cause they're hungry
They're starving
They're rummaging through trash
This is why contingency funds even exist
The USDA has the money
They just want you to be pissed
Cause when people go hungry
Things get tense
It's like the Insurrection Act's
Been waiting on this
We can't feed the poor
Who keep taking hits
Yet Christ fed thousands with
Five loaves and two fish
I can't imagine he'd
Leave the vulnerable in pits
But Christian nationalism
Doesn't exist to save kids
Preach preach preach preach
Pray pray pray
We're so focused on hate
We can't hear what they say
Children crying out
Just begging to be saved
But we got ballrooms to build
And ICE needs paid
It's all a part of the plan
To take over the land
First cut health care
Then slap out-stretched hands
Compassion's at its best
When you don't grandstand
Or play blame games
Trying to beef up your brand
Building new foundations
On beds made of sand
Meant to rock our world
And shorten lifespans
Well all I know is
We should fear for Uncle Sam
Cause Project 2025
Follows a strict program
