Just thought I'd repost this song I wrote awhile back. The time seems right.
When a lame duck president can get everything he wants and more, it means the opposition party is in either in collusion with him, or just lacks the ability to oppose his agenda. Either way, we lose.
WELCOME TO AMERICA
Once our leaders were elected We still vote but now they’re selected For us
The press has been consolidated The truth is much too complicated, don’t Bore us
Welcome to America
The laws are changed with a signing statement Against all reason our president Ignores us
The bodies lie where our flag’s unfurled But we don’t understand why the world Abhors us
Welcome to America
What’s the Constitution Just a Goddamned piece of paper Let the Congress stand and watch As the oil barons rape her Don’t you dare try to resist Or we’ll put you on a list Say goodbye to all your freedoms As they all go up in vapor...
(Solo?)
Welcome to America
I wrote this song I hoped you’d listen But now I’m locked in a secret prison Why.... Why, oh why.... They won’t let me die I’ll never see the sky Why.... Please tell me why..... Why.......
America, goodbye.
