Great Land

In this so-called great land of ours, stolen from the indigenous How can we have so much poverty? No universal health care leads lots of folks to bankruptcy Or askin’ friends on GoFundMe It’s criminal and the world can see Bridges are collapsin’ and there’s lead in children’s water In the richest of the first-world countries Profit over people killed Texans in Storm Uri Yet there’s no accountability Justice should be done quickly If pro is the opposite of con, then Congress is the opposite of progress Those in power are to blame They should hang their heads in shame How can they claim our nation’s better than the rest? Our vets are left alone to fend For physical and mental care No support for their PTSD After all they did the government Left them in abandonment Not every vet can get to Walter Reed That’s how you thank them for their service to you and me The mayor and city council kiss the asses of developers Displacing longtime residents black and brown There’s so much rampant homelessness And our vote states wanna suppress We’ll vote you out we don’t need you around Look out we’re comin’ and we won’t back down If pro is the opposite of con, then Congress is the opposite of progress You in power are to blame And should hang your heads in shame How can you claim our nation’s better than the rest? Do something so our nation’s one of the best!
