What's going on?

Light me a candle for holocaust day
Ice men are wearing their bullet proof vests
what’s going on in the U.S. of A?

Ice men are kicking down doors, everyday
Ice queens are boasting of shooting their pets
light me a candle for holocaust day,

Children from mothers are taken away
Ice queens are saying they have no regrets
what’s going on in the U.S. of A?

Ice queens will tell you there’s no other way
but they never tell you what happens next
light me a candle for holocaust day

Dark clouds are gathering day after day
the second amendment, rights to protest
what’s going on in the US of A?

The world is watching and can’t turn away
another ten rounds, straight into the chest
light me a candle for holocaust day
what’s going on in the US of A?

"the second amendment, rights to protest", certainly that right is in jeopardy. Say the wrong thing, I'll have vanilla.
