The Id Parade Lyrics
Oh the politician says
There's a new way coming to town
But I ain't seen nothing
Nothing to stop this frown
'cause it's guns to the left
Dollars to the right
Down the barrel of an armalite
I, cry
They, lie
blood, red
All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
Got a finger in the dope pie
And a bomb to blow you sky high
A tricky old
Sticky old
Fickle old war
Dust that leaves a half-life
'cause it's guns to the left
Dollars to the right
Down the barrel of an armalite
I, cry
They, lie
blood, red
All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la...
I, cry
They, lie
blood, red
All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la...
There's a new way coming to town

All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
And a bomb to blow you sky high
A tricky old
Sticky old
Fickle old war
Dust that leaves a half-life
'cause it's guns to the left
Dollars to the right
Down the barrel of an armalite
They, lie
blood, red
All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
La la la la la la la...
They, lie
blood, red
All, dead
Uh-oh that's the way
Pushing and a-shoving
In the id parade
La la la la la la la...

I believe this song is about the very strong attachment Americans at large have with guns, the fire-arms fetish that runs so deeply in American culture. This song was written when we only had mass shootings every couple of years or so, now we are having mass shootings almost every other day
Also, I forgot to mention that when listening to this song, musically and lyrically, I keep expecting her to say "in the USA" whenever she says "in the ID parade". Very clever songwriting!

id = The part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest. One of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that is completely unconscious and is the source of psychic energy derived from instinctual needs and drives.
