When the shit hit the fan
and “the people” chose their man
I could feel my hands going numb
Such a dark day in November
Past mistakes not remembered,
and with every cabinet member
we all felt so dumb
I’m drifting in & out of consciousness…
Who the fuck are we neglecting our democracy?
Every backwards Congressional jerk
now has a pass to come out of the woodwork
preaching hate with a shrug and a smirk.
Do we really deserve this?
The Orange King barking orders,
Stirring up his religious supporters.
A new policy at the border.
Oh, but we’ve earned it.
Still drifting in & out of consciousness…
I’m fighting off the feeling of defeat
There are people resisting in the streets
This is life in the 21st century
It all started with laughter,
then exploded in disaster
What the hell were we after
in the first place?
Broken system, fear & hate
Party lines out of date
Greed holds the axe & determines the fate
of a country on its knees
I’m drifting in & out of consciousness…
and I hope we make it out of this.
