Snowflakes
Tom MacDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you lie to the government, they'll put you in prison
But when they lie to all of us, it's called being a politician
You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killings
But your pro-choice abortion kills way more children
If America's so terrible and racist
It probably isn't safe to encourage immigration, just saying
All the contradictions are embarrassing
You know who hates America the most? Americans
Trigger warnings used to be on TV for seizures
And now they're everywhere to protect millennials' feelings
He, she, his, him, hers, them, they
Screw a pronoun, 'cause everyone's a retard these days
I hear 'em preaching at a protest that hatred's the problem
But hating straight men, white folks, and Christians is common
Coca Cola telling people they should be less white
They preaching tolerance but if you disagree, they fight
There's a race war here, elections based on fear
Black lives only matter once every four years
Soldiers died for this country and every one of us benefits
Give welfare to the bums and forget about the veterans
Black folks and white folks divided by the news
But we're all the same, we are red, white, and blue
Ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool
'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too

Y'all are so fake, oh no
The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa
You can't make us see it your way, no way
Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no
No more snowflakes

They set us up to fail, that's what they built the system for
Put an ammunition shop across the street from a liquor store
Empowering women used to be different than this before
The role models got OnlyFans or dance on a stripper pole
Screw it, I ain't trippin', I don't mean to be mean
But if our children are the future then our future is bleak
They take an Adderall to focus, hit McDonald's to eat
They're addicted to phones and they take Xanax to sleep
They blurred the lines dividing communism and democracy
In 2021, we paint the patriots as Nazis
The men playing women's sports get trophies for winning
Like great, let's celebrate a man for beating some women
If you're black, your life matters, you're supposed to embrace it
If you're rich or you're smart then you're probably Asian
If you're gay, then you're brave, all of that I'm okay with
But if you're white, the stereotype is you are a racist
Blaming capitalism like that's the reason things are tough
While you tweet from an iPhone and sip on a Starbucks
You're supporting what you stand against, you don't think you are but
A Percocet addict don't donate money to pharma
Damn dog, we're all afraid to speak the truth
And the more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do
You're ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool
'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too

Y'all are so fake, oh no
The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa
You can't make us see it your way, no way
Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no
No more snowflakes

We could all get along but there's no stopping, ayy
Everybody's wrong, that's a real problem, ayy
They don't wanna hear it, but they still talking, ayy
Soon enough we running outta options, ayy
This ain't gonna end 'til it's in a coffin, ayy
We ain't gon' be friends 'til we try to squash it, ayy
I don't know how we can make amends or we drop it
Snowflakes melt when it's hot, kid

Y'all are so fake, oh no
The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa
You can't make us see it your way, no way




Gasoline and propane, more flames, oh no
No more snowflakes

Overall Meaning

Tom MacDonald's song "Snowflakes" is a politically charged track that takes aim at what the rapper sees as the hypocrisy of modern cultural and political trends. The lyrics tackle issues such as the controversy around gun control, America's history of racism, and the division created by partisan politics. One of the central themes of the song is the idea that American society is being undermined by the rise of "snowflakes", or individuals who are overly sensitive and feel entitled to special treatment. MacDonald argues that this mentality is preventing people from engaging in meaningful, honest conversations about important issues, and is contributing to the erosion of democracy.


The verses of the song are filled with biting criticisms, such as the observation that politicians are often allowed to lie with impunity, while ordinary citizens face harsh punishments for similar transgressions. MacDonald also takes aim at the idea of trigger warnings and the trend toward using a wide range of pronouns to describe individuals, arguing that these cultural shifts are indicative of a wider trend toward blaming modern problems on traditional sources of society such as straight, white men. The overarching message of the song appears to be that society needs to find a way to move beyond identity politics and embrace a more inclusive, unified approach to addressing cultural and political issues.

Man's beat Billie Eyelash and Roddy Rich on YouTube trending and he can't be stopped on Spotify. The fan base is incredible

@leannedickie

Been impressive to see

@caboose3903

The fan base is retarded. The guy's lyrics are just tired memes. Given the chance at a major label, he'd turn into a Democrat loving Leftist at the drop of a check. He's Controlled Tomposition.
