about

Notes: I made the music long before I made the lyrics. Over the last four years I have watched the country tear itself to pieces and watched us all lose power and our country in the process. The thing that makes our country strong is our diversity. I watched people who used to love each other begin to hate each other, because they were baited to do so. Regardless of party, we typically agree on 95% of topics. Don’t fall for divide and conquer. This is a crucial song at a crucial time.

lyrics

Get Their Way (Again)

Liberal, Conservative,
Democratic, Republican,
Hurling insults to cause them pain,
While democracy goes down the drain,
But we never stop to question, we just do it out of spite,
We never stop to question, who wins what when we fight.

(chorus #1)
Every time you take rights,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
Every time you narrow your sights,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
(chorus #1)

Differences, man, that’s the plan,
Constitutionally the strength of the land,
Compromise binds us together,
We can stand true in any weather,
But we never stop to question, we just start to bitch and fuss,
We never stop to question who’s making sheep of all of us.

(chorus #2)
Every time you push decay,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
Every time you throw friends away,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
You drool when the bell rings,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
You don’t realize we want the same things,
They get their way again,
Get their way again,
For every conversation you have,
We get our again,
Get our way again,
Think before you get mad,
We get our again,
We get our way again.
(chorus #2)

We shouldn’t be whores for the elites,
We shouldn’t let other countries make us weak,
You’re my brother/sister from down the street,
And we both have view-points, unique,
They’re playing divide and conquer of the lower classes,
But if we respect each other, this two-party scam will pass.
