SING IT to the tune of Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Our country is going to hell.
Already there, truth be to tell.
Democracy’s failing.
Our people are railing.
Our country is going to hell.

Republicans, just so you know,
Our president ha-as no clothes.
He’s lost all his marbles.
His words are a garble.
Now we must reap what you have sown.

And Democrats, where are you now?
We need more than a frown and scowl.
Get o-off your du-uffs.
Get smart and get tou-ough.
Save us from these leaders most foul.

Our country is going to hell.
Already there, truth be to tell.
Let’s gather the masses—-
All laddies and lasses.
It’s time to protest and rebel!

It’s time to protest and rebel!
