Bushwhacked
Half a million voices strong Too many more denied to belong These years of the right have seemed so wrong This is the one that broke our backs One voice one vote we demand it back We the People have been Bushwhacked How swiftly deception can spread Dimples ain’t so cute while our flag is bleed While the truth dare dangles by a thread Silence the voices from all doubt Free Speech’s dead end with no way out Then supremely proclaimed, deny the count As our men die it’s no big deal That nothings found of lies so unreal Still Halli keeps her sweetheart deal Science takes a back seat to nonsense Somebody please kick us off the fence As big bucks trickle down to cents Their deaf ears ignore our pleas As our echoed lives shipped overseas Poverty pounds like some disease They hoard it all so proud and bold As Grandma’s left to shiver in the cold So don’t you dare to dare grow old
Chorus What ever happened to the words one voice one vote That grand ole web weaves a tangled note While spinning their lies straight down our throats Freedom's voices have been smacked Left reeling from a right wing attack We the People have been Bushwhacked
Don't do as I do... do as I say Equal rights, unless you're poor or gay Fourteenth amendment blown away He wants to amend our rights with hate Bigots salivating they can’t wait A chance once again to discriminate See, separation was their way Blacks, Jews, and chicks but not today ‘Cause today all they've left to hate are gay Girl you’ve suffered too to pay your dues But, momma Hey! have you heard the news You’ll no longer have the right to choose Chorus
We live in two Americas
