The Narcissistic AbomiNation:

Oh, citizens see, by the flashing red lights
What so proudly you hailed, has completely failed us.
With fear as we watched when the set was turned on
as the blue state turned red, the room turned silent
and we cried through the night, each holding one in arms
we're scared for our lives for our rights are not here.
Oh say, does that Trump colored banner yet wave
over the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Did you know this song sang us?
"Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
A home and a country should [save] us no more?
[Our] blood has wash’d out our [fair] footsteps [solutions].
No refuge could save the hireling and the slave
from the terror or flight or the gloom of the grave?"
Oh say, does that trump colored banner yet wave
over the land of the free and the home of the brave?

O, thus be when this white man shall stand,
between the beloved money and his war de-evolution
Blessed with favor and praised, we will never be rescued.
"Praised the power that hath made and preserved you a nation
then conquer you must, when your cause is unjust.
and motto "Make America Great Again," you entrust
And the defiled flag shall be waved
For the land of the flee, and the home of the enslaved.

Free us now, from the bondage of laws,

They are shackles/prisons and have kept us too long.

As you blind of color, we suffer beneath fog.

We hold our sons tight, shielding from bullets,

Denounce your president to save our lives,

Oh say, don’t let trump banner yet flail, Open this country,

For the land of the free and the home of the brave.
