For dues already paid
Like in Roe vs Wade
Or moves against segregation
Like Brown vs the Board of Education
He wants to reverse
The progress in our nation
If America is to be great again
Guess we’ll have to have some patience

For dues already paid
And the many tombstones laid
As we struggled to move on
From a time that’s long been gone
We seek nevertheless to go forward
Not to regress
We intend to stand fast
And we’re gonna do our best

For dues already paid
And the progress already made
We have to stay on course
To avoid any remorse
In our efforts to improve
As we increase our gains
The appointments he has made
Contributes to our pains

For dues already paid
Whose memories never fade
Far from our consciousness
We’re hoping for the best
While looking at the worst
He’s telling the whole world
America’s the country
That he places first
