The Backfire Effect

from Let's Do This! by Generation 84

lyrics

There is a pack out for canned hunting, backed by the rich folks of big companies. 
You saw them coming and looked down the barrel and still you decided to give them your vote. Now that they’ve started you notice it backfire. No turning back, at least for five years. 
The knife’s on your throat and you start to question where was your common sense. 
 
So now you complain? I’ve warned you for a reason. 
Now look in the mirror. Did you get what you want? I didn’t get what I want. 
 
Is that the lesson we’ll teach our children, “no compromise, don’t reconcile”? 
I got to hand it, you sure played it smart to make them believe in their own killer. 
The wrong people have the gun on their temples. This country was built by people with blisters on their hands instead of their asses like you. So pay them their due. 

Sold out, you’re empty handed, ‘cause they will not compromise. Maybe next time you won’t forget to open up your eyes. The backfire effect. The joke’s on you.
 
<i>The backfire effect occurs when, in the face of contradictory evidence, established beliefs do not change but actually get stronger.</i>
