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
