Where do you stand?
Angry words, violent actions; a nations hinges on the furor
of freak show factions
The right ballyhoos ballot box trickery fueling their constituency’s
irate reactions
Election season unlike any before; based on the last imagine
what’s in store
Me? I have had more than my fill of fanatical delusions Mein
Kompf can’t take no more
America you’d best be paying attention. Our democracy teeters
on one last straw for suspension
There’s a mad man who wants to rule the world as a king, despite
his poorly veiled intention
It’s no secret it’s what he’s got planned
No red or blue tell me where do you stand?
Drill for oil, wall out foreigners, keep the perimeter
manned
Retribution for those who won’t bow, where do you stand?
Still trying to rewrite the pages, pleading insurrection
innocence that won’t survive the ages
Guilty stains, like the black dye running down Rudy’s cheeks,
will be recounted by the sages
Blame the machines or the volunteers, prey upon your
weakened masses deepest fears
Some say it’s pointless to try to change their minds, after
all a fool hears what he hears
Does he hear the cries from across our land?
No red or blue tell me where do you stand?
Are we Rebs and Yanks, choosing sides like that Civil War
the right doesn’t understand
Brothers and sisters in the home of the brave that we must
save, where do you stand?
