Build the Wall

Build the wall I hear them scream Like this is some American dream Why don’t we build that wall for all to see Completely around Washington D.C. We could charge admission, pay as you go Come see the clowns at the circus show An elephant and jackass will be the sign Bring your own booze and I’ll bring mine Mainstream media will bring us the latest The ringmaster will tell you why he’s the greatest The comedy show won’t be hard to sell The performers are paid and we pay them well Once you’re corrupted you can be hired Worship the ringmaster or find yourself fired While we build the wall we can dig a ditch Bury the evidence while the rich get rich So build the wall for all to see But walls do not make people free Of humanity the far right’s bereft No patriotism within the left We are slowly watching our country fall Around D.C. please build the wall

No direction, lies lies and more lies, and it seems no one cares for what America stands for. Thank you for making your own determination of what you think.
