This Is How
This is How
(the Dastardly Deed Went Down)
Brown shirts, black boots
Shaved conscience, paramilitary spooks
Marching turncoat lockstep to the Bennie Arn band,
following the Herr Leader’s double-agent command
Bearing arms for the Oval Overthrow Cause,
strangling free speech with Second Amendment clause
Rabble rousers on the mamba move at the rallying point;
a Cottonmouth King, they’re ready to seditiously anoint
This is how
dumbfounded Democracy got
buried in the ground
This is how
closed eyes saw the fascist shot
Deafen by the sound
This is how
the Dastardly Deed went down
Robo-calls for a ban on the mail-in vote,
defacto declare prez election was a hoax
Populist rebels said power got ballot stolen by the dark skins,
neo-Prussian heads blitzkrieg slid down duchy Alps Austrian
Make common the use of violent protest,
let the gunpowder lungs spark a lip resist
Alabaster grassroots cast asunder long-revered Liberties;
Con-federate voices, the militia masses do Führer appease
This is how
a confounded Democracy besieged got
buried under the ground
This is how
waxed ears heard the candle snuff shot
Deafen by the dark sound
This is treacherously how
the Dastardly Deed went down
