Secure Global Democracy

When the war is won and the killing done
I put the four-leaf clover in my gun,
then dance in hall of mirrors with the ghost
who laughs with innocent faith when I boast
about how we defeated tyranny
and helped secure global democracy.

For eighty years we ruled over the world
with magic lantern of the cosmic herald,
opposing tyrants with courage of wolves,
trusting that democracy always solves
contentious issues in united land
monitored by the invisible hand.

Before dividing walls of fear we stood
and preached the triumph of all that is good,
proud our Stars and Stripes flew over world peace,
secured by service of honest police
and soldiers on crusade of the red cross,
obedient to the Heaven-reigning boss.

But someone replaced Jesus as our king
with fierce-eyed Odin and his magic ring,
canceling the woke hippie and his love
who never appears from the clouds above,
while crowning bold warrior with sharp ax
who defends pirates pilfering our tax.

Though we once challenged Russia at its gate
their puppet has now overthrown our state
and crowned himself messiah of the Earth
while his jester steals everything of worth,
then swings his hammer and revs his chainsaw
to destroy our complex system of law.

Wrecking havoc with his hammer of greed,
King Midas decrees his capricious creed
as law that we must all obey or die,
while he protects his sly sniveling spy
who cuts funding for all social programs
while blackmailing us to pay for his scams.

Recovering from shock of his brute campaign
to impose dictatorship for his gain,
we rally around flag of Liberty
to oppose their lawless oligarchy
and free our nation from their avarice
with righteous blow from Stone of Sisyphus.

For eighty years America ruled well
the Free World against tyrannical hell,
but now our democratic government
has been hijacked by the fake president,
so we must fight to defeat tyranny
and help secure global democracy.

Orpheus and Woodie Guthrie play guitars and sing folk songs against tyranny with the machine that kills fascists.
