Being Sold Down the River?
Near 80 years ago it has been
Another Jerk wanted to make his country great again
America first has been used before
It was a commie ploy to keep the U.S. out of the War
Over 6 million Jews were gassed or shot
Who’s going to end up in his burial plot?
Both started out with the same trend
Replace everyone with family and friend
They will do and say anything for power
This one wants to rule from his Ivory Tower
Don’t worry about fighting with the NRA
He will make sure there’s nothing to take away
We are being sold out by being in his trance
Wakeup or learn that funny little Russian dance
Take your money and buy Vodka stock
That way you might not be in hock
Learn to speak Russian and don’t fail
For I hear its cold in a Siberian jail
Keep your mouth shut and speak not
If you speak out, you could be shot
Elections will be no more
It doesn’t matter who you vote for.

and moi (me)
One and it’s over:
sold down the river with you;
the feelings of love passion, heaven,
flow between us
an unending energy
heads swim, arms enfold, eyes close
there is just the warmth,
the heat
of you and I, our bliss
and what we share
only with each other
and
ours.
Red and blue
It used to be so
Black and white
Good v Evil
Fighting a cause
United against
The milk snatcher
Now it's endless
Shades of grey
Sold down the river
By a wolf in sheep's clothing
