The New Battle Cry

Republicans used to believe

That democratic values will win.

Lately, however, they sing a new tune:

To hell with democracy; save your skin!

 

Power is what excites them now.

"Voter fraud!" is what they spin.

Voter suppression's their goal as they cry:

To hell with democracy; save your skin!

 

McCarthy and McConnell knew

The mess that Donald Trump was in,

And yet they chose to honor the motto:

To hell with democracy; save your skin!

 

It used to be that any support

For an autocrat would be a sin.

Now in bed together they shout:

To hell with democracy; save your skin!

 

To gain more power, they gerrymander

Districts in states, which is akin

To trashing our system as they proclaim:

To hell with democracy; save your skin!

 

Deceitful methods to stay in power

They will use and feel no chagrin.

The battle cry uniting them is

To hell with democracy; save your skin!
