We are the Heroes

First they said that our laws were sufficient 
and the guardrails enough of a force
that the Courts and their Orders would stop him
keep the country and people on course

But the Justice Department had failed us
sadly frozen in fear and disgrace 
and the SCOTUS is soaked in corruption 
selling votes, taking trips, filling space 

We’re the saviors who we have been seeking
we’re the heroes who we so adore 
for when words upon paper lose meaning 
it is up to the People to roar
