Say goodbye democracy

​​​​​​

In this time of death 

Falling over into the end

As if to drown by the sea

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

Standing in the square waving flags

Looking to the Patriots up above

Yearning to be noble and once more free

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

It looks at you in the face

Urges you to step back

To rethink who and what you see

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

Even puppets have their limits

Pulling these strings no end 

Governments that fail to protect you and me

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

Justice, you are right there ain't 

Lawlessness has won the day

Ask any queer, black and Jew, you see

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

When you walk in the streets

Stabbed, shot, bombed, maimed 

By the lunatic claiming religion to be

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

You may ask who will protect you

In the public square today

Your heartbeat is ticking wildly 

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

FBI i i i, 

Not much but pie in the sky

When all the power is taken from thee

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

These freedoms for a long time fought 

Upon the battlefields of countless wars

When one man can kill you see

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

For when the lights go out tonight

Taking your children to bed

Waking up to fears of autocracy

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

When you go out today

Not knowing if you shall return

For the dark shadow of tyranny

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

In this single heartbeat

Beaten into a palpable fear 

Enter the state of lunacy

Say goodbye to democracy 

--------------------------------

Lord help us now 

For these commandments that once avow 

Holding you at once from the mountain to the sea

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

The shadows are clearly here to stay 

Having been brought in now 

You may ask what it it once felt like to be free

Say goodbye to democracy

--------------------------------

Leaning to the left, 

Leaning to the right 

No where to lean we see 

Say goodbye to democracy 

--------------------------------

There is nowhere safe now

Where next you may ask today

Freedom has been shot in the heart, the back, nowhere left in thy beloved country

Say goodbye to democracy
