lyrics

In re DJT (Their Liberties Be Damned)

You can build the dam high.
Calm the rivers running off their backs.
If they come, it won’t be in daylight.
If they come, they’re gonna drown in shifts through the
night.
It’s impossible to overestimate the love
you have for yourself.
Their liberties be damned.
Their silence you command, to remain silent. Until everyone’s the same as you,
jailed, or driven out.
Touch your face you sue for libel,
burning down the front page of the New York Times.
Converted to the Bible,
just in time to get a payout from the precinct lines.
It’s impossible to overestimate the contempt you have for details.
Their liberties be damned.
Their silence you command, to remain silent. Until everyone’s the same as you,
jailed, or driven out.
Deny their freedoms,
and remind them where they’re from,
and the punch lines for the red hats will be as easy as they come.
So you’re flying over Texas,
above the bushmasters and the taco bowls.
Bringing power to the masses,
huddled beneath your matryoshka doll.
It’s impossible to overestimate the love you have for yourself.
Their liberties be damned.
Their silence you command, to remain silent. Until everyone’s the same as you.
Their liberties be damned.
Their silence you command, to remain silent. Until everyone’s the same as you:
jailed, or driven out. C. John Roberson 2017
