The way things stand…
In this
Our country
Our home
Our land
If you think you, and only you, know where it's 'at'
Chances are you're a republican
If you think anyone who doesn't agree with you is a 'rat'
Chances are you're a democrat
Meaning
If you think the sick, the poor and the unemployed need a kick in the 'rear end'
You'd be a republican
If you think you can solve all the problems in the system with 'tax and spend'
You'd be a democrat
If you think the president sits in the 'oral office'
Chances are you're a republican
If you think the president sits in the 'oval orifice'
Chances are you're a democrat
Meaning
If you think the public should know where a president puts his cigar
You'd be a republican
If you think the country has gone one corporate scandal or another country too far
You'd be a democrat
If you think the U.S. should rule the world because it can
Chances are you're a republican
If you think the U.S. should lead the world because it can
Chances are you're a democrat
Meaning
If you think it's better we should 'smart-bomb-the-shit' out of them
And tragically murder thousands
You'd be a republican
If you think it's better to 'economically sanction' rather than occupy them
And quietly starve millions
You'd be a democrat
If you're confused after reading this
Because you believe both sides are really that different
Chances are you're most likely
A true red-white-and-blue patriotic American.
Nothing wrong with that really
It's good to have pride in one's country
You'd be justified historically
However isn't too much pride a sin
To the Christian Way of thinking?
To the brave and the free: Never forget
That you have History in your hand
When you cast a vote
To balance things out
Or write a politician a note
To point things out
To the brave and the free: Never forget
That you can sign petitions
That aim to bring about change
Or Refuse a draft because the reasons
For going to war seem strange
To the brave and the free: Never forget
Voice your opinion, Do Not Remain Silent,
Do not be afraid to be labelled 'anti-American'
By some, and follow your conscience
To the brave and the free: Never forget
There's always room for improvement
That being a citizen, instead of a subject,
Is much more than having a gun in your closet
Or reading a left-leaning pamphlet.
To the brave and the free: Never forget
There is much good in this land
If not bold political enlightenment.
We, the people, are only Human.
Both republicans and democrats
And the disenchanted voters
The way things stand,
We're sure as hell trying….
