lyrics

Can we no longer see, in the afternoon light
On the Capitol wall, from the morning's first gleaming
Those broad stripes and bright stars, now no longer in sight
Of the racists we saw were so violently teeming?
Smell the mass spray of bear. MAGA hats everywhere,
They proved in their sight, that our flag was not there.
Oh, say, will that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the scaffold, it flew, ‘til the mob came around
And began to engage in their violence and plunder.
What unfurled the breeze, now was thrown to the ground.
The intention was clear: tear our nation asunder
As the crowd made its way, on that harrowing day
The wages of grift and deception were paid
And still did that star-spangled banner not wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Yet where is that vile crew who so vauntingly swore
That democracy’s day would be ended in violence?
They did broadcast their coup, and their penchant for more
While the rest of us watched, in depression and silence
But the day turned to night; in the end they took flight;
Now whining in fear is their well-deserved plight.
And once more that star-spangled banner does wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
