Well, people, go to bed now, it's getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
'Cause there's just criminals in charge down here now and they wreck things in different ways
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away

So say goodbye, it's Liberation Day
People, now I know the things you wanted for which you could not pay
But won't you just say goodbye? It's Liberation Day
I swear that you voted to blow it all away

This feels like a situation where someone gets their left arm cut off because they had a sliver in their little toe. 15 years ago.
