lyrics

“Hush,” they say, “the vote is over.
“He will see, the end is near."
Yet no sign that he would listen.
“What’s the Harm in humoring him?” So we hear.

Ride on words of minions did he
Telling all that he had won
With democracy in crosshairs
“What’s the Harm in humoring him?” We hope none.

“Blood and soil,” they made their mantra
As they came upon DC
Blood did flow inside the Cap’tol
“What’s the Harm in humoring him?” Now we see.

Banners tall and weapons brandished
Breaking what had held for years
Our republic wavers, wounded
“What’s the Harm in humoring him?” Our worst fears.

“Hush,” they say, “the vote is over.
“Leave the past and let it go.”
Instead, I say we must remember
“What’s the Harm in humoring him?” Now we know.
