Democracy In Action
Men killed in battle on a sweltering day
Fighting for our freedoms, no matter what we say
Killing ruthless terrorists
There is no such thing as rest
For our men and for our leader.
Women working themselves raw
While their babies cry and bawl
Drowning in their hopeless fears
Creating rivers from their tears
Because of their men and because of their leader.
Lives broken and bodies battered
Turns out none of it really mattered
Another chapter in history
Just a pitiful “ment-to-be”
Because of those men and because of those leaders.
A single man stands through it all
Bold and courageous and tall
We picked him above all others
We wouldn’t want another
In this land of freedom and democracy.
