====== A Promise to Congress ======

===== from =====

Election Day 2020, the 3rd of November
A day of reckoning you will always remember
When We the People exercise our right
To take a stand–and if need be, to fight
Against the lies and promises broken
Back room deals that go unspoken
Twisted words and outright deceptions
All of these o'er our objections
Which you ignore (or choose not to hear)
Because We the People you do not fear!

To special interest group you bow and pray
Screw my constituents (you think but don't say)
Who do We the People think they are?
If not for me and my ilk, they wouldn't get far
They don't understand how big government works
That it's all about money and power and perks
For us politicians it's just a big game
We win–you lose–it's always the same
You elected us, now we're in control
Go home We the People–crawl back in your hole!

Hell no, we won't go! We're here to stay
We've come to show you the error of your way
We the People have found our voice
And it's time for us to make a choice
Between those who will uphold the Constitution
And those who support an “alternative solution”
So just wait a minute there, big hoss
You must have forgotten who is your boss
Your way is finished, it's no use to fuss
We're We the People–YOU work for US!

Stay the course on your current path
And you shall feel our vengeful wrath
This is the promise of We the People
For far too long we have been Sheeple
Come the fourth of November, Twenty Twenty
You can bet your ass there will be plenty
Of new faces in those hallowed halls
Men and women who will heed our calls
And will swear an oath to do what's right
For We the People will show our might!
