SING IT to the tune of Auld Lang Syne

Democracy is under siege
by lawless kleptocrats
They’re waging war on we the people,
our liberties attacked
But we unite, and we will fight!
The fascists will not win!
We won’t give up until we’ve taken
our country back again!

We grieve for all the victims of
Trump’s hateful policies
for immigrants dehumanized
and for struggling refugees
For those whose lives are torn apart,
whom ICE has brutalized
For those who suffer terror threats
when they dare to criticize

We’ll join together and resist,
Oh, we shall organize!
We’ll push back on the propaganda
and we’ll refute the lies
We’ll shelter neighbors targeted
We’ll stand for human rights
We’ll protest and we’ll march and sing
and we’ll raise our voices high

Yes, we unite, and we will fight!
The fascists will not win!
We won’t give up until we’ve taken
our country back again!
