American Insanity from Still Troubled by mike ward

AMERICAN INSANITY
Every day in the comment section
There’s talk about insurrection
Calling names at our own reflections
Exploiting our imperfections
An online viral infection
Where truth can’t pass lie detection
Happens every single election
It’s a crossroads not an Intersection
Each side is so partisan
Not open to our fellow man
Always ready to open a can
Thinking each of us is better than
All over this apathetic land
Who really has the right to ban
Books, ideas gays or trans
Sinking us into quicksand
CHORUS: It’s Insanity… oh all around me
Hyperbole… Qanon conspiracy
Instability…..oh say can’t you see.
It’s insanity… from sea to shining sea
Let’s talk about the right to choose
What every woman could lose
From red-state courtroom abuse
Holier than thou point of views
A dynamite stick with a lit fuse
A handmaid’s tale vacation cruise
Going backwards we must refuse
Come on there’s no excuse
It’s a constitutional crisis
Congress running round like 3 blind mices
Talking bout where Jesus Christ is
Acting oh so righteous
Made of gold like King Midas
Scarier than Taliban or isis
Contagious as meningitis
It’s all gonna come back to bite us
CHORUS: It’s insanity. Oh all around me
Idiocracy…a dictator wanna be
Lies and deceit…oh say can’t you see
It’s Insanity. from sea to shining sea
BREAK: Dark clouds above forming
That was our capital they were storming
Oh It was more than a warning
What will be left standing in the morning?
Now we got to separate
All the church from the state
All the love from the hate
When there’s crime investigate
Stop all the click bait
Meant to eviscerate
Contaminate, manipulate
Take a stand, vote, demonstrate
CHORUS: Its Insanity. oh all around me
no civility .. just criminal proclivity
rewriting history…..oh say can’t you see
it’s Insanity American insanity… Tucker, Trump and Hannity…
no integrity…a future catastrophe…a damn calamity…
use some profanity…cause it’s insanity from sea to shining sea
