lyrics

American Shame

They said it could never happen if you paid your dues
Do the work and be more grateful that you get the chance to choose
But choose what I’d like to know exactly what that means
I did the work and now they want to control everything
My vote, my voice and even my own body
That’s not being free

We the people are supposed to be the real leaders here
The words of the constitution couldn’t be more clear
But the GOP has hijacked our democracy
They hate all of us who care about decency
Election rigging like it’s all a game
Making pawns from America’s pain

There’s nothing in the world that can shock us anymore
We were sleeping when they battered down the Capitol’s front door
But we never thought they’d make it through the nation’s gate
Underestimating all the ignorance and hate
Pointing fingers when no one is left to pin the blame
It’s nothing more than American shame
