about

This is a song about the current state of Democracy amid the recent Washington Capitol riots and impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump.

lyrics

Power makes us bold, and trades integrity for gold
Values, once held dear, are changed by the politics of fear
We want to protect the ones we love, and cling to our beliefs in truth above
But look beyond the boundaries of hate, and understand there are greater things in play
Demockracy, what does it mean? Just tell me how on earth we keep it clean
Demockracy, in which we trust. Let’s stop it from turning into dust, into dust
Freedom, what does it mean? Free to make our choices, free to live our dream
Let’s liberate our politics from greed and focus on what people really need
The time has come to value every face, and look right through our gender, creed and race
Demockracy, what have you done? You stuffed it up for everyone
Democracy, you once were pure, let’s get it back to where it can endure
Democracy, let’s lose the K, and bring the caring back to stay
