We came from all over the land To show our hand and our signs And resign from the silent crowd That allowed this filth to control And dig a hole in our Constitution; To point out the fools that choose To use our schools to abuse us With their taking of bribes and Payoffs for scribes in the media.
It was an amazing time to climb Off our sofas and it was thrilling Even with the wind chilling us. But these kids, friends and families Had grown tired of homilies by crooks Justifying what they took from us And throwing us all under the bus In the name of patriotism and then Giving back in nepotism to their Friend's foreign bank accounts, As well as a hefty kickback account, Which amounts to the same thing.
The nation admired the children They had sired should move to fight For what is right when leaders Turned out to be followers of wrong. They lifted voice in songs and chants And shocked the pants off mediocrity By standing in all solemnity to face The worst of our race who ruled That murdering children ranked less Than the mess our country has begun By protecting horrible guns more And giving children in school A much lower overall score.
Not often enough, we wake up As a country, and stand up To picket, protest and crowd Around the symbols we have found That mean we are being swindled And the innocent are being starved And carved up and killed daily So our leaders can go gaily on With business as usual; a kind of Tone-deaf musical for the twisted.
But we stopped liking the lyrics And cynics doing the singing With bad voices too loudly, So, we proudly declare a mistrial That has gone on too long a while And needs to quit. Those in power Need to sit down at home And leave the real people alone And we at home need to step in And begin this freedom and equality Promise and fulfillment for real And apply it to the common weal.
