A fool’s flag waves above a broken dream
Bringing back to life a dried up stream
Of racist thoughts and hate filled memes
We thought had gone away

A class war burns hot in every town
Families rounded up, taken to the ground
While we drop our bombs and children drown
In the blood of those we slay

The America we used to be
Was a land of hope and liberty
With rule of law and justice true
Our light was bright for all to view
The America the world now knows
Is weakened by internal blows
The fights within our sacred halls
Have dimmed our light to none at all
Have dimmed our light to none at all

We pass racist laws that hurt the poor
And claim with lies we’ve settled a score
To regain the land from immigrants abhorred
Who have no way to fight

In the White House now there sits a throne
MAGA traded the Christ for a god of their own
They bow at the feet of an idol they’ve grown
To begin the eternal night

The America we used to be
Was a land of hope and liberty
With rule of law and justice true
Our light was bright for all to view
The America the world now knows
Is weakened by internal blows
The fights within our sacred halls
Have dimmed our light to none at all
Have dimmed our light to none at all

To reclaim the pure day we all must stand
And reject the cancer that claims our land
To march for truth and freedom they banned
For justice we too may bleed

The fascists must know we will not relent
Until never again a knee will be bent
To the oligarch racists that hell has sent
And we retake our land of the free

The America we used to be
Was a land of hope and liberty
With rule of law and justice true
Our light was bright for all to view
The America the world now knows
Is weakened by internal blows
The fights within our sacred halls
Have dimmed our light to none at all
Have dimmed our light to none at all
