From the recording THE PORTRAIT 2.0
Lyrics
Another war no one asked for,
Except for Donald Trump,
Yet here we stand again tonight watching it on our news,
And just like the others before it,
The ones we swore we’d never repeat,
Speeches rise from podiums
And flags fly up and down the streets.
We’re told America is Almighty, and might makes right, you see.
And our duty is to obey, but somewhere in a quiet house
A child just lost their dad,
It’s a price we all must pay
Most will never see their father’s face again,
Unless it returns mangled and broken,
Fathers forced to leave young children alone
May never come home to fill that special place again.
A uniform sits on a table,
A flag placed into grieving hands,
A life once full of laughter
Now buried in a distant land.
American people start to wonder, as headlines multiply
Are we watching another war meant to drown out the politician’s lies?
Another speech, another mission, another reason we must fight and die…
Somewhere another father won’t be coming home tonight.
And in a quiet room, where children’s voices used to chime,
All the family has left now,
Is a portrait on the wall!
Who is this man who lines his pockets?
Who gains from stocks ups and downs,
Who lies about what he is doing,
And cares not, for laws or rules,
We all know the answer—it’s the unrelenting Orange Clown.
Does he ever think of anyone but himself?
Does he ponder the questions that must be asked?
Does he purposely alienate everyone....everywhere?
Of course, he does cause he's an ASS that thinks he's KING.
He is untouchable to any and all, he's the True "MAG-uh" KING,
And all should answer only to HIM
As he answers to no one else.
A dead father, son or daughter? you ask.
WHY did they have to DIE?
The cost of a trillion bombs? Gone BOOM!
Money sunk and wasted on a needless War with Iran.
And now Americans can't even afford their own food.
Think about the future we all could have had?
Had we not elected a fool to lead a once great land,
But "MAG-uh" is like a virus that spreads both near and far,
A cancer has spread, and now you father is dead,
Because you chose the Orange Clown to lead.
