Secret Tunnel - Progressive Girl (2020 Demo) Lyrics

She was short and dressed in black
And stepped out of her Cadillac
And made a face at a MAGA hat
And said she was doing fine

Seems like every conversation
That we have is an operation
Cutting off those generations
That are keeping us in bed

Over smoke and synth pop music
She was laying bombs and fuses
In between her parents' cruises
Trying to make a wave

She's my progressive girl
She keeps my trying to save the world
She makes me swoon and she makes me hurl
With the cracks in the walls and the plans unfurled

Yeah, she's my progressive girl
Her fishnets tight and her hair fresh curled
Screaming "F*ck 12" with a mini-skirt twirl
And I love her all the same, yeah

At the start of a summer vacation
She was glued to Face the Nation
And the broadcast speculation
Of a president in chains

Little moments keep us guessing
Oh, like shopping for a vegan dressing
Or staying up late night and stressing
Over a final exam

Maybe I'm just overthinking
But should an activist be drinking
Every Kool-Aid packet mixing
With the fact that she's never had a real job

She's my progressive girl
She keeps my trying to save the world
She makes me swoon and she makes me hurl
With the cracks in the walls and the plans unfurled

Yeah, she's my progressive girl
Her fishnets tight and her hair fresh curled
Screaming "F*ck 12" with a mini-skirt twirl
And I love her all the same, yeah
