We hold these truths to be self-evident
As long as you’re a white man
Otherwise, you’re irrelevant
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Is it for all, or only the manliest?
Cages and camps for people of color
Young girls are forced to become mothers
Love who you want, unless you’re gay
Progress is banned, and now we’ll all pay
Make America great again
Only for the straight white man
Do we move forward, or do we go back
Will we the people stand up, thwart this attack
Will the courts save us, or will they crack
Will we the people fight, take our country back
A republic built on an idea of who we could become
Will we do better? Are we destined to be a was?
How do we define a country that’s great?
How ‘bout one not afraid to admit its mistakes
Will we whitewash history, or choose to learn
The power is in knowledge; otherwise, we burn
And, a country not woken is a nation broken:
You can’t grow hate and expect to be great
Who are we for, the powerless or the powerful?
Are we united for one or united for all?
Will we recover? Will freedom be lost?
Is this who we are, and at what cost?
A revolution reborn? Or democracy tossed?
This is who we are, until we’re not
