[Intro]
\nOff to a hardy party<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\n(Ahh gosh darn…)
\nGoing to raise barn
\n(Ran out of luck)
\nDisaster struck<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOff to a hardy party<\/p>\n

[Chorus 1]
\nAs a last resort
\nHere I am praising
\nA collective effort
\nCommunity barn raising<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\n(Burned down in a fire)
\nTime to raise it higher
\n(No matter the weather)
\nWe can come together<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOff to a hardy party<\/p>\n

[Chorus 2]
\nAfter his forsaking
\nHere we are partaking
\nA collective effort
\nIn the moral desert<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nOff to a hardy party<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nAfter his forsaking
\nHere we are partaking
\n(Praising…) our barn raising<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nA barn raising is a community event where neighbors come together to build a barn for someone in their community. It’s a tradition that has roots in 18th and 19th-century rural North America, where barn construction was a large undertaking that required collective effort. This song uses it as a metaphor for coming together to rebuild our nation after the Trump presidencies.<\/p>\n

Song inspired by Trumpenomics: The Decline of the US<\/a><\/h2>\n

From the album “Raise<\/a>“<\/h3>\n
