To be sung to the tune of A Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys

A Holiday in Red America

So, you’ve been anti-left for a year or two

And you think you’ve heard it all

Quoting stupid memes, flirting with extremes

Gossipin’ about decline and fall

Making racist jokes with your pack of smokes

At your rooftop party show

Braggin’ that you know how the whites feel alone

And the rednecks are such nice folk

It’s time to taste what you most fear

Being avant-garde will not help you here

Brace yourself, my dear

Brace yourself, my dear

It’s a holiday in Red America

Where the streets and roads are vile

It’s a holiday in Red America

Don’t forget to pack a Bible

You’re a wannabe influencer, you simp like a fool

You want everyone to like your posts

Kiss ass while you bitch, so you can get rich

Off your social capital

Well, you’ll steal valor from the freaks

Nowhere nice to eat for weeks

Farming day in and day out

Repairing a sewer drought for the whole town

Now you can go where people are pissed

Now you can go where wifi doesn’t exist

What you need, it’s true

What you need, it’s true

Is a holiday in Red America

Where the trad life is hardcore

Need a holiday in Red America

Drive an hour to get to the store

Fix This, Repair That

Fix This, Repair That

Fix This, Repair That

Fix This, Repair That

And it’s a holiday in Red America

Where kids play in toxic waste

A holiday in Red America

Where the culture is so based

Fix This
