Stop saying,
“That’s not who we are.”
When we’re the engine
Driving this car
Which has strayed
So very far
From who we like
To say we are

Stop saying,
“We’re much better than that.”
Not from the seat
Where Nancy Pelosi sat
Or from the place congress
Was forced to ****
Out of the room
Where they were at

Stop saying,
“Make America great again.”
Until we’re a nation of laws
Not of men
Cuz how else are we
Gonna win?
And there’s no time like the present
To begin

Stop saying,
“We’re the world’s
Greatest democracy.”
The way
We used to be
When in fact
We’re barely free
From his demagoguery
