Oh Say Can’t You See?

Please stay with me; I need a friend here tonight

it seems people are acting crazy

I just want to chill and have good thoughts tonight

I’ve got junk food for two!

they’re acting as if we don’t need our country

they’re choosing sides instead of right from wrong

as if democracy wasn’t right all along

oh say can’t you see this is not the promised land

Dr. King’s dream hasn’t been realized though they say it has

They say Obama’s the proof we need

that it’s in the past

we should all just relax

and not bring it up again

oh say can’t you see you won’t get clarity from them

dishonesty is their primary tool from the start till end

they’ll walk on people like you and me

no matter who you are

they’re simply are out for themselves and no-one more

oh dance with me; let’s twirl around tonight

i’ve got to flow with the sound and the feeling of being alright

this power grabbing is nothing new around the world

it needn’t change me or you
