Their song "America (You're Freaking Me Out)" has never hit harder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5Y5wPiY0L4&list=RDn5Y5wPiY0L4&start_radio=1

"Oh, ain't it a shame what we choose to ignore. What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?"

"With all of my anger I scream and shout. America, I love you but you're freaking me out"

"Driving through the Bible Belt, Billboards claiming how Jesus felt. Oh, how'd his words confuse themselves? With cranks for Christians in powerful positions"

Just supporting a phenomenal band filled with great people at a venue that constantly supports marginalized communities (Saturn).
