(2/7) ... eventually go away / But you can feel it in the air: our inner fire's are still alight / Which, in turn, keeps ‘em fumin’ long — into the night.

They want us to feel like there's too many of “them,” far too many of these cretins / Stirrin’ up far too many problems / With not much good sense to go ‘round / Don’t you see: we’ve become this land of perversion -?

Sadly, these are the fascistic times we live in / The #GOP { /&/ #TheHeritageFoundation } want us to do their biddin’ ...

(3/7) ... So, let’s give ‘em hell for tryin’ / And, should that day come: give ‘em one hell of an a$$ beatin’ -!

Oh, common decency, where are you now -? / Everything's gone wrong somehow / These men who steal, these corrupt “men of power” / One, who is losin’ bowel control — by the hour.

“This is the time, this is the place” / So we look to the future / But there's not much decency to go ‘round / Tell me why all this self-loathin’ leads to exclusion -?

Sadly, these are the fascistic times ..

(4/7) ... we live in / The #GOP { /&/ #TheHeritageFoundation } want us to do their biddin’ / So, let’s give ‘em hell for tryin’ / And, should that day come: give ‘em one hell of an a$$ beatin’ -!

We remember, not that long ago / Oh, when the light of Lady Liberty was still a shinin’ beacon / And all these stars shown bright — all through the night / And the sounds of laughter — as we held one another tight / Somehow, that seems so long ago.

We won't be goin’ home tonight / Our generation(s) ..

(5/7) ... Our generation(s) will put it right / { And } We're not just makin’ empty promises / Unlike them: we know we'll strive to keep -!

They want us to feel like there's too many of “them,” far too many of these cretins / Stirrin’ up far too many problems / With not much good sense to go ‘round / Don’t you see: we’ve become this land of perversion -?

This is the country we live in / And these are the hands we're given / So, never give up -&- let's start tryin’ / To make this a land ...

(6/7) ... worth fightin’ for { again } -!

We’re beyond fed up with this world we’ve been givin’ / And these are the times we live in / So, stand up and let's start showin’ / Just where we want our livelihood’s to be goin’ to -!

{ Original Anthem // Re-worked by yours truly // In “honor” of yet one more wholly unstable, unhinged, psychotic “State of the Union” speech … that went ABSOLUTELY nowhere good -!}
