Morons Are Governing Again

Smoke drifts from the smokestacks On dark and gloomy days Just before the first rains of Summer Crates are collected and stacked And thrown onto the conveyor belt So they may disappear into the fortress A robot sings songs of yesteryear And humans simply stand by and observe Give these jeering men some credits Lest they starve without work With their blossoming bellies But they sure love Conservatism Starving mothers fling underweight babies Into the jaws of an unforgiving sea Because they can't take care of them But neither could they spare them Remember when a wise man once said Elections have consequences A tower is built slowly from the ground up It starts off small but becomes massive over time Just like petty rants from the bird's nest seem small Until they collect over time and form dogma An entire generation tainted by evil And the devil himself is blushing Alas drown your sorrows at the beach And swim in a sea of glittering garbage Because this great sea sure does flow Where thriving cities once stood But now they reside deep underwater Entombed by science denial And for every peace loving Christian Is one who spreads dissension like disease Who thrives on stapling gays to the cross As if it were 1965 in the redneck south And in truth every person who lets it happen Is just as guilty as the transgressors When the good lord said love thy neighbor Could he have known they'd cast the first stone Upon all the liars and all the sinners Just peel apart the jowls of the maiden sinner And find the seven deadly sins cowering From a man dressed in a burlap sack Patience for appeasers is something I lack And as I rip away the images of this distorted future I look to the future in two years from now And I just hope deep in my heart we've had enough Because at first 2016 gave me a future to believe in But now Morons Are Governing Again
