Fascist America
If you think this is just temporary
and tomorrow all things will be good
That Republicans will become loyal
do the things Representatives should
You are likely to be disappointed
because fascism’s already here
It is shrouded to keep us uncertain
always wondering, living in fear
The law firms we thought as distinguished
are a shell of what we once admired
As they’ve cowered and paid off a cretin
losing that which had made us inspired
Now the people can no longer trust them
for the bribes have already been paid
And the words which they speak have no meaning
as their honor was given in trade
The old schools which we cherished for centuries
are now part of the new fascist rise
For the lessons they’ll teach will be tainted
as the People respond in surprise
Now America is a police state
who will kidnap and take you away
ICE is masked as they punch, kick and beat you
they don’t care who they take, what you say
We are funding a genocide daily
all the missiles are made with our hands
Dropped on innocents starving in Gaza
where a new Riviera is planned
They have started the cheat for elections
like they do almost every time
Gerrymandering being accepted
like a legal acceptance of crime
This old story has not changed in centuries
Native blood still lies under the earth
In a land filled with greed, lies and hatred
it was bound to allow fascist birth
