When all they need is a rope
To hang our freedom from the highest tree
Hell, handcart - meet hope

They have the outfit and salute
The navy suit, the double thumb
They’re to a guy one race and class
They want to buy back some old past
It smells like death it smells like -
As a great woman once said
when they go low, we go
Higher power
Their regulation Jesus
Looks a little like the singer from Creed
Cap lock stuck, tower babble
Damn, the president cant read …
