Watching the spectacle of the politicians posturing
Feeling put upon by the fake reality show drama
Bankrupt policies result no matter which side wins
When both sets of actors are owned by big money interests.
The race to the bottom continues as the ongoing theme
Never enough profit for the capitalist owners
Deflecting worker’s anger onto blameless immigrants
Stoking divisive hatred against people of color.
Funding taken from everything and anything that provides
social good
Stolen for the war machine for death and destruction
This is a system that cannot continue for long now
On a trajectory to hit bottom like a drug addict.
Poisoning the planet with pollution
Even the enormous ocean gags on garbage
As habitat is eliminated and countless species go extinct
The circle will close in consequence for us humans.
Fear of global war bringing devastation everywhere
Eclipsing the drone strike terrorism seen today
If we survive only to repeat the work of capitalist recovery
Such a terrible scourge upon humankind.
The masses of people must make an intervention
To stop the impending catastrophe of the commons
Raising up new leadership to construct sustainability
The only way forward to a happy future.
