The Night They Drove Old Glory Down
My apologies to “The Band” as I tweaked their lyrics a bit.
“We The People” is the name
And I served on the freedom train
‘Til the China Virus came
And they tore up the tracks again
In the winter of the economy dive
We were locked down, or just barely alive
By November 3, capitalism fell
It’s a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove Old Glory down
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Glory down
And all the liberals were singin’, they went, La, na na na
Back in the USA as it use to be
When that day I called to thee
“People quick, come see
There goes the home of the free”
Now, we do mind choppin’ good
And we do care if the money’s no good
You take from the rich to give to the masses
But they should never have crushed the middle classes
The night they drove Old Glory down
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Glory down
And all the liberals were singin’, they went, La, na na na
Like the land before me
USA will remain the brand
And like the countries around me
I now take a banana stand
I was just 250, proud and brave
But socialists laid me in my grave
And I swear by the blood around my feet
You can’t raise a dream back up when it’s in defeat
The night they drove Old Glory down
When all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Glory down
And all the people were singin’, they went, La, na na na
