One must respect democracy despite its imperfections
The hallmark of a modern enlightened society
Revere the parts we like ignore what we don’t
Like equal rights of gender sexuality and race, what
There will always be sore winners and losers
Now neighbor versus neighbor and state versus state
How supreme will the sense of justice be
Half of half is one hell of a mandate, what

Just don’t just don’t know what I want to say

Not the ending the pundits predicted
The big top on the circus collapsed
A country divided by ballots and protest
In agreement on the wrongness of the other side

Who’s being bought who’s doing the selling
Who’s being sold democracy is dying
Lies being told that we’ve all been buying
The truth’s being bought what are they hiding

He gazed over his kingdom of over 2200 square feet with nearly 3 feet between houses
Two new cars two new leases a pile of bills and the smell of debt in the air
His parents raised him to get the new newer newest of the bigger better best
With interest rates at an all time low we’ll loan you more than you could ever hope to repay
He got lost chasing the American dream
We all got lost chasing the American dream
We’re quickly destroying what was once the American dream

Hate those who you are told
Fear what we tell you
Our truth will keep you secure

A walking fountain of opinions knee jerk reactions and decisions
Who really needs more time or additional information
Full of confidence and conviction while parroting what’s on my feed
The sources all seem credible they think just like me

Calling all colors calling all races
Calling all orientations calling the hope and changers
Threat of war to the east and a wall to the south
Our collective fates are now hinging on one very loud mouth
Refute the lies
Refuse to comply
It was never cute it was never a game
This was never humorous and things will never be the same
One new justice maybe two maybe three
If freedom isn’t free what does freedom even mean
