Two sources for this song:
1) The reaction by Katarina Witt about the Russian skater, Kamila Valieva, who tested positive for doping - "she's a child"
2) Soul Coughing and Mike Doughty (if you've never heard Mike Doughty, then in all seriousness, stop what you're doing and listen to his tunes - both with Soul Coughing and with his solo works. He is the last Modern-Day Beatnik. I don't do his style justice AT ALL.)

Punishing a Russian skater for doping
Ice Experts criticize for her competing
When we don’t know what happens behind closed doors
But we are unsolicited judges
(We are Google Experts now)
I am no better - but I have the balls to confess
I am no worse - or am I since I lean to the outside of everyone else?
We are cheering that we have been targeted and blessed
Congratulations- you’re middle-aged…better live now before death!
Let’s bring back Friends and Seinfeld
Let’s bring back Will & Grace
Well, if we’re bringing everything back
Let’s bring back grunge anger - bring back Rage!
(Here it is)
CHORUS:
We have become monsters
Or rather - we have been revealed
Both sides pitted against one another
To ignore the evil that is real
I have a friend across the pond
Who sometimes laughs at us - and can you blame?
When your dumb uncle represents all of us
This is what we’re left with - the bully runs free
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Everyone is so much smarter than me
I should just know my place
I am trying to promote the right things
While you cry, scream, and kick selfish-lived grace
But hey - what do I know?
I’m just a raging guitarist full of spite
So, carry on with your anti-everybody else
I’ll just proclaim our phony rights
SOLO
But we are monsters in the name of Jesus
But we are monsters in the name of God
But we are monsters in the name of freedom
But we are monsters for America
‘MURICA!!!

Yes! Bring back RAGE. This gets it all out. Love it.

The intro is appropriately unsettling--really sets the tone for the subject of the song. Amazing vocals! I'm all about bringing back grunge anger and rage. That guitar solo is scorching.

Epic! Your voice is perfect in this and really loved the lead guitar! The intro was so cool
@yewnorker Feb 2022
Great lyrics! You chose a perfect "All Along The Watch Tower" -ish guitar vibe to add a sense of urgency. Brilliant! Well done!
