We want all Democrats to behave

As though they truly and genuinely believe

In a True Democracy

Stop at once the nasty hypocrisy.

Oh! Let the republicans behave

Like they belong in frumpy old cans

Of lies, insurrections, nightmares, hooligans

And right-wing fans who crave and rave.

We want good and credible elections

Not biased and absurd selections

We want Real Democracy.

We want Justice, Freedom and Liberty

For all conscientious and legal voters

In power, we want truth tellers, not liars.
