Politics As Usual

Politics As Usual

Anger, jealousy, rage and greed
That's what's sown with this political seed
Lies, despair, and desperate need
Violence and hatred is what it breeds

Our country is being torn in two
There's only red and there's only blue
Nothing said can be believed as true
It's you against me and me against you

When the fight is over, it'll start the war
Everything promised and nothing is sure
A deepening sickness with no cure
That We The People must endure

I am so right and you are so wrong
The same old tune and the same old song
Royalty smiling from the White House Lawn
While the huddled Masses bleed on and on

The cracks have become fissures, we can't pretend
No words can heal, no actions can mend
The home of the brave we proudly defend
Is crumbling around us to a frightening end
