Where are we going? How are we to get there? Get involved
Oh One Oh Two Two Oh Two Oh

Oh one oh two two oh two oh
Alliteration as we go
I hope the twenties, will be fun
For this our century twenty-one
First twenty years are over now
We have arrived, I wonder how
The U.S.A.'s been through a lot
Are we okay? I think we're not
Barely had the century changed
When terrorists, who were deranged,
Knocked the towers to the ground
Came from the middle east, we found
There was no country to attack
Sources said should be Iraq
Saddam Hussein should take the fall
Before his weapons killed us all
We sent our troops to that far land
We killed Saddam and half his band
Was not long 'til we would know
That this was not the way to go
So then we tried another plan
Fight terror in Afghanistan
To wipe them out, we made a vow
And we've been there, from then, 'til now.
Since then we've had three presidents
Not sure that any made much sense
Bush believed what he was told
He acted wrong but he was bold
Then Obama came along
He rearranged the same old song
History was made, he was not white
Leaned to the left and not the right
He was a solid democrat
Republicans not fine with that
Did what they could to block him out
His every move would make them shout
Made it through eight years of him
Cooperation growing dim
A man of change was on his way
He is the one we have today
The long enscounced had filled the swamp
They loved the circumstance and pomp
The country's heart had lost its beat
Resuscitation's no mean feat
Trump came along, we thought a joke.
He touched the minds of heartland folk
Neither party wanted him
Thought he was running on a whim
Clinton won big city vote
Trump, deplorables of note
When the college was applied
Donald would begin his ride
Was the apprentice, ran for fun
When all was said, he was the one
The Constitution had its way
Electoral College had its say
Russia must have had a voice
He was their interfering choice
The Democrats are socialistic
Not too far from communistic
The ax had split the party rail
Democrats must make Trump fail
Would take some time, but must impeach
There was a lesson they must teach
Investigated everything
To make him kiss their ass or ring
He did not bow down to their work
So they voted and impeached the jerk.
That's where we are in this new year
The roaring twenties now are here
A century ago, we could not drink
In the here and now, we do not think
Prosperity now is mostly clear
Trump says, through tweets, that he's still here
The Hill should now cooperate
Should do it now, could be too late.
