lyrics

Dear America, look around you
All the faces in this crowd are filled with doubt too
But what good is a protest if you don't know what you're fighting against?
The demagogues that you've gathered around
Who wanna burn the White House to the ground
Don't care if their positions will benefit you
And it doesn't matter anyway 'cause no one seems to have a clue
Please open your eyes and denounce the lies

We have the capacity to do good
Might sound subjective but I'd like to think it's just misunderstood
All thanks to the Glenn Becks of the world
Who shamelessly spread lies over the radio waves
and no one every asks them to substantiate their claims
But they don't need to 'cause the people listen anyway
No they don't need to 'cause you'll buy their lies just the same

It's so easy to see the world in black and white
If the Democrats are wrong than Republicans must be right
I beg to differ and I ask of all the people
Dispel this silly notion now, 'cause it is lethal
Instead of thinking things in terms of "us" and "them"
How 'bout you do a little research, contrast, compare and then
You'll find that having a well informed opinion
Gives you more power than screaming "NAZI!" while the fear runs high
