What we were fighting about centuries ago,
seems that we’re still fighting about today.
If we haven’t been able to get it right by now,

than the status quo

To protect and covet,

Quid pro quo 
Give and take
How it should 
Have been 
Take take take

Always seemed 
To have the 
Emotional upper hand 
Over me

I would erase it from the world

STATUS QUO
Are you going to smash the status quo
Or will you keep going on with the old show
Life is nothing but what we should know
Is it time to stay or is it time to go

The Pot and the Kettle

Democrats run on problems
they contrive

Republicans run on problems
they deny

One as bad as the other,
together much worse

As the status quo suffers
—awaiting the hearse
