They who turned their backs on justice
Abandoning every trace of reason
Forsaking their sacred duty
Just in time for the election season
And who will pay the price for this
As usual we will but we must persist
But how damn cold our comfort is
And I'm not even sure that any exists
The last bulwarks have failed us all
This is why we warned you for all those years
What can be done before we fall
Now we come to terms with all our worst fears
They who should have known much better
All that study and this is the result
This was decades in the making
There will be no end to all this tumult
Call this a lecture - I'll still preach
Call me too didactic - someone has to teach
I know these words will never reach
But I will still sing them - I'll cling like a leech
No one watched the watchers enough
Now they have gone mental with their power
The next years ahead will be rough
Dodging beams of dark-light from the tower
Like a mad clown stealing magic
That fell ass-first into a throne
Just that thought should make us all sick
Heroes binging on ice cream cones
I don't feel much reassurance
From platitudes spouted by the craven set
I wish we had some insurance
More than likely we'll soon be enslaved or dead
They've appointed themselves our lords
They've betrayed all that they swore to protect
We're on life support - they pull cords
But we must never ever genuflect
