about

Sung to O Little Town of Bethlehem

lyrics

O little town of Washington
So wounded from a lie,
As on your deeply wounded streets
The violent crowd goes by.
It forces you to suffer
Them on their murderous way.
Our hopes, our fears, and all our tears
Are met in you today.

The lie was born of Donald Trump;
He gathered his rubes in town.
While “Stop the Steal” his foll’wers squeal
We watch as they tear you down.
They maim and kill together
With flags that they unfurled.
The scars they leave are mourned by all
The democratic world.

How violently, how violently
The traitorous grift is reaped
As Trump embarks to darken hearts
And revenue streams to keep.
For all who hear his lying
And endless rants of hate
His minions or his foes become.
There is no other fate.

“O Residents of Washington,
“How did you endure?” we say,
From tear-gassed air in Laf’yette Square
To blood on the steps today.
Yet through the broken marble
Your friends erstwhile are we
We mourn the damage done you and
Our shared democracy.
