If democracy is bound to fall
Because the base is heeding his call
Though their numbers are relatively small
What’s the point in holding a town hall?
If we’re losing our right to vote
And Republicans vote by rote
Although it’s a sour note
Their rising tide is sinking our boat

If they’re changing our voting laws
On the basis that they have some flaws
And their reasoning is just because
They’ve been lied to without a pause
If we don’t believe in having a king
Then here is the funny thing
We’ve already felt his sting
And his words have a familiar ring

If we're returning to the dark ages
By turning back our history pages
And not enough of us find it outrageous
Then the results are bound to be contagious
If we realize he’s a mess
Then we might as well confess
We’ve lost our freedom nevertheless

If not enough of us are prepared to fight
And we’re walking gently into that bad night
Cos not enough of us are uptight
About losing a basic right
If we’re not gonna go for broke
And just accept the okey doke
Then we’re about to drown or choke
Cos they think of us as a joke
