Questions
An American stepped off a ladder onto the moon
Was he a Democrat?
An American died in Tarawa
Was he a Republican?
An American soldier was shot in Iraq
Was he a Democrat?
A poor black woman drowned in New Orleans
But who did she vote for?
Questions are important too
How American are you?
A levee collapsed and flooded a town
Did a Republican ask a Democrat to fix it?
Are school bus drivers Republicans?
How many convicts have voting rights?
Americans are different
This used to keep them strong
When they knew right from wrong
Where everyone belonged
And stood as e'er they should
Together
