LYRICS
If the POTUS
To the T
Is missing “we”
Is missing U
Us
I guess…
POS
SOS
POSsssss
(make like a snake)
I understand
United we stand
Divided
We all fall
Butt
After all
If we espouse
The White House
Just another clown
Going to bring us down
Is there any surprise
With such a pack of lies?
Women In White SOTU 2019
And the ladies in white
Wear/where left of right is right
Shine on through the night
Arose to the fight
Say — USA

LYRICS
Are the races
In good graces?
Oh so much strife
In a child’s life
Do the people
Cause a cripple
Oh why the stifle
Of the life-cycle
Wake from slumber
Days are numbered
No matter your “whether”
Come together

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the 10,000 missing migrant children held captive by the Trump administration.

Immigrant advocates said they are suing the U.S. government, claiming it is detaining immigrant children too long and improperly refusing to release them to relatives. A federal lawsuit filed last year in Alexandria, Virginia, was expanded on to propose including the cases of more than 10,000 children.

Always in fear

No! Going to check

Going to concede

Always in fear

LYRICS
If I were to breakdown
And confess
Why, yes, it is a mess
Government spent more than lent
President inspires the “hellbent”
With ignorance that won’t relent
Used. Abused. Spent.

Commander and chief is a thief
Stole the value outta me n’ you
Divide the herd by the color of hide
Deep, dark and empty inside

Bureaucrat. Aristocrat. Hypocrite.
The bull’s eye… you hit it
King on the wall needs to fall
Tumblin’ down… broken crown

LYRICS
Yo, “bad hombres”
Do you know
The way
Yo, “bad hombres”,
what do you say,
can you tell me the way?

“They go right to the easiest part and the weakest part,
sometimes out in desert.
… they drive out into the desert,
and they come on,
they make a left turn.
….. very important”

They make a right turn going very quickly,
they go into the desert areas or whatever areas you can look at,
and as soon as there’s no protection,
they make a left or a right into the United States of America.
There’s nobody to catch ‘em, there’s nobody to find ‘em.
They can’t come through the port,
because if they come through the port,
people will see: four women!
Sitting in a van! With tape around their face”
—again, he gestured to his own face—
“and around their mouth. Can’t have that.”

What is the meaning

Has it been bleeding
Receding from truth?

From The Book Of Daneil

The King Who Exalts Himself
Daniel 11:36 “The president will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every head-of-state and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of walls

What do you propose

LYRICS
Dumbfounded by amazement
Well, how long does this go on?
Well rounded in embarrassment
Tell me where we all went wrong
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain within

To the past with harassment
It’s gone on far too long
Just won’t last as establishment
Sing along to the same old song
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain within

When you say, “U.S.A.”
You give a way (away a way)
Privileged hearsay
Drive a wedge all the way
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain

Or the tragedy
Is a mystery
Is there amnesty
In your amnesty
No? Not really

And, you? Obvious, too?
As for me,

It’s starting to come true
Through the mystery
Come to be

LYRICS
We’ve got ourselves one hell-of-a situation
One nation… divided….
Where’s the God? (How odd)
Are the children all invisible
How is it possible
Without a single care about their air
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

What about the grandchildren?
The massive debt we’ve left for them
Shot our load watching bombs explode
Stubborn fools burning fossil fuels
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about children… and Facebook removing a New York Times picture of a 7-year-old girl named Amal that is starving to death due to the war in Yemen.

Photo of a Starving Girl in Yemen Prompts Facebook to Remove Posts of Article

For a few hours after The New York Times published an article about conflict and hunger in Yemen, Facebook temporarily removed posts from readers who had tried to share the report on the social platform.
At issue was a photograph of a starving child.
