The Lyrics
He will never know when the war is done
But he thought it should end anyway
And isn’t not clear if it will make a difference now
Or if he’ll just be forgotten one soon day
Self-immolation
Self-immolation
‘Cause he didn’t like
What’s happening to Gaza
And Joe Biden, he says he’s trying to wind it down
But some folks accuse him of genocide
But I just compare him to the other dude
‘Cause unlike Don, at least Joe can say at least he tried
Self-immolation
Self-immolation
‘Cause Aaron was mad
About things in Gaza
And tomorrow there might be a ceasefire
I’m no prophet
But unlike him I’m alive
So when this war ends, like all do, I’ll be here
‘Cause there’s no point
In burning up all your days
Don’t burn up all your days
Stay alive
And don’t burn up all your days
But he thought it should end anyway
And isn’t not clear if it will make a difference now
Or if he’ll just be forgotten one soon day
Self-immolation
Self-immolation
‘Cause he didn’t like
What’s happening to Gaza
And Joe Biden, he says he’s trying to wind it down
But some folks accuse him of genocide
But I just compare him to the other dude
‘Cause unlike Don, at least Joe can say at least he tried
Self-immolation
Self-immolation
‘Cause Aaron was mad
About things in Gaza
And tomorrow there might be a ceasefire
I’m no prophet
But unlike him I’m alive
So when this war ends, like all do, I’ll be here
‘Cause there’s no point
In burning up all your days
Don’t burn up all your days
Stay alive
And don’t burn up all your days

The dude was mentally ill, just like the Vietnam war one: Norman Morrison. That one was going to take his baby with him, but a samaritan grabbed it away at the last moment. Actually the original "idea" for this was a Buddhist monk, but he didn't do it to "protest the war". He did it to protest US backed Diem government of South Vietnam. So Morrison was a copycat for a different reason. And somewhere in Vietnam there's a statue of the luny. Probably hamas will erect a statue of this luny.
Either way you can say Morrison is overcooked.
