Rights in America

Our rights have been taken away

Only our lefts remain

We've been suckered punched from the Belt

now dance with two left feet of pain

The Ballroom will be a Bombroom

A fireant nest in the clay

Say one word against it

and swarms of icy workers

will come and strip your flesh away

The Emperor is standing naked

His lies radiate the truth

His asbestos skin reflects

the dementia

On me and you and us and them

Every night a nightmare

Every day is worse

God is looking down

formulating a curse
