Discrimination's Fires
2017 Reggie Miles All rights reserved
Say goodbye to net neutrality
Protesting is a felony
Abortion's illegal, immigration too
Freedom of speech is now taboo
Will this criminal nation ever learn
Discrimination's fires burn
Lower taxes for the wealthy few
Higher taxes for me and you
Healthcare lost to millions more
The rich get richer, the poor more poor
This criminal nation's greedy yearn
To see discrimination's fires burn
The new normal's not normal at all
Keep Mexicans out by building a wall
Muslims forced into a registry
To live in this land of the free
This criminal nation took a wrong turn
As discrimination's fires burn
Fake news is everywhere
Alternative facts are what we share
Normalization of violence and hate
Welcome to these un-united states
This criminal nation's hard to discern
While discrimination's fires burn
The president dodges his personal debt
Braggin bout grabbin what he can't get
He's a megalomaniac misogynist
Impeachment looms on everyone's lips
This criminal nation's end of days
Discrimination's fires blaze
The republic's crashin to the ground
Because of a single orange faced clown
With tiny hands and skin too thin
A bad combover bully's narcissistic win
This criminal nation's point of no return
And discrimination's fires burn
Millions marchin in the street
To an anti-fascist protest beat
They've had their fill of all this shit
And no, they ain't gettin over it
This criminal nation better change its ways
Before discrimination's fires blaze
My county tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing today
We've got to find a better way
This criminal nation has got to learn
Discrimination's fires burn
This is what democracy looks like Don
Don't bother unpackin you'll soon be gone
