Where do you stand?


Listen Later

Where do you stand?

Angry words, violent actions; a nations hinges on the furor

of freak show factions

The right ballyhoos ballot box trickery fueling their constituency’s

irate reactions

Election season unlike any before; based on the last imagine

what’s in store

Me? I have had more than my fill of fanatical delusions Mein

Kompf can’t take no more

America you’d best be paying attention. Our democracy teeters

on one last straw for suspension

There’s a mad man who wants to rule the world as a king, despite

his poorly veiled intention

It’s no secret it’s what he’s got planned

No red or blue tell me where do you stand?

Drill for oil, wall out foreigners, keep the perimeter

manned

Retribution for those who won’t bow, where do you stand?

Still trying to rewrite the pages, pleading insurrection

innocence that won’t survive the ages

Guilty stains, like the black dye running down Rudy’s cheeks,

will be recounted by the sages

Blame the machines or the volunteers, prey upon your

weakened masses deepest fears

Some say it’s pointless to try to change their minds, after

all a fool hears what he hears

Does he hear the cries from across our land?

No red or blue tell me where do you stand?

Are we Rebs and Yanks, choosing sides like that Civil War

the right doesn’t understand

Brothers and sisters in the home of the brave that we must

save, where do you stand?
