From the Pit of Hell

FROM THE PIT OF HELL
By R. A. Merritt

The KKK has got a new name 
But they don’t wear a robe and hood
They’re alternative right and are often polite 
Like decent people should

Yeah they wear suits and ties
And have wingtips on their feet
And many of them are college grads
And members of the elite

And you know very well where they’re from
Where their minds do dwell
They’re the worse of America
They’re from the pit of hell

They’re giving each other Roman salutes 
But not wearing Brown Shirts yet
But I expect they will be real soon 
And be marching in Goose Step

They’re all over your city streets 
They’re all over your home town
Anger in their excited voices
With faces wearin’ frowns 

They don’t love our country
Though they profess they do
They in fact hate with it a passion 
For the likes of me and you

And you know very well where they’re from
Where their minds do dwell
They’re the worse of America
They’re from the pit of hell

And they run the gamut 
Are old age and very young
And they all walk in darkness
And avoid the shining sun

They’ve infected our country
Are a virus of wanton hate
And if we don’t cure it before to long
It just might be to late 

And you know very well where they’re from
Where their minds do dwell
They’re the worse of America
They’re from the pit of hell

Yes if we don’t do something soon
This tyranny forestall
We’ll be headed for their prison camps
Or be pushed up against a wall

And no one will be left to weep for us
Or take account of our strife
Our freedom we once cherished 
Will be as dead as our life 

And you know very well where they’re from
Where their minds do dwell
They’re the worse of America
They’re from the pit of hell

And you know very well where they’re from
Where their minds do dwell
They’re the worse of America
They’re from the pit of hell
The very pit of hell
