Leaderless leaders

So much hate
Such is fate
I look around 
Hear the bugle sound
Hearts are bound
Let freedom ring
To whom do we sing
Far to the left, far to the right
But it's in the middle we fight
By strength we unite
Ruled by the iron hand
Demanding we all march in that band
Enthusiastically cheering nothing at all
We must build our wall
Or we surely shall fall
Leaderless leaders leading the blind
All are afraid to be left behind
dont know what they want
Votes they taunt 
Where are we going 
I'm not in the knowing 
Uncertainty in the forecast 
Common sense fading fast
Can only hope it doesn't last
Come tomorrow 
Pride I may have to borrow 
Cuts here cuts there
Hey that ain't fair
Shake my head and stare
 Who knows what comes in next
But we shall read about it in some text
All a late night drama show
All I know
As the stomach turns
The world burns
