Fist. Flag. Fire.

When the citizens of your country
Believe everything is a fight
They lead with fists up
Looking for who is “in” and who is out
God-fearing instead of Godly-living
Guns are our strength
And compassion will be beaten down
When the citizens of your country
See it as uniquely blessed
The flag becomes an idol to worship
Better not mess with it in a small town
There is nothing to learn from others
Because the “American way” is holy
And this holy war is raging
When the citizens of your country
Want to blow it all up
Hire friends and fire foes
Science, evidence, & education are the enemy
The constitution is inconvenient
And the truth is in the eye of the powerful
Let’s burn it all down
Basking in the warmth of liberal tears
