I watched a man decide to stand up for us,
Then I watched them take him away
I hate to break down your respect for the process
But the process won’t be saved.

Hi, I’m Nancy, and I love ice cream
But not as much as watching people forced out of their homes
Watching people forced out in the streets to live alone
Knowing that I own every homeless set of bones
It’s all more support for my hideous and ill-gotten throne
The weight of which is too much for you to bear alone
Which is why you ended up threadbare, alone, kicked off your benefits and left to your own
The diner you worked at was told it could open its doors, but there’s no clientele, and it’s prolly just as well because half of the staff didn’t last so they can’t come to work anymore.
You can’t expect a corpse to pull itself through the door to flip omelets for 8 bucks an hour anymore.
Make your own food.
Clean your own floors.
Fake your own news
Fill a whole morgue
Get a film crew out front, but don’t let them
In the doors.
Let’s keep it:
Front line heroes, America’s soldiers, you know the score.
Joe knows the score.

Stop saying this election is so goddamn important
And start telling Joe he needs to reign in his supporters
Oh, that’s right, Joe can’t even reign his tongue in behind his resin molars
Pardon me for asking faculties of someone who is vying to control us.

The man is not speechless quite yet, but you can bet he’s soulless.
And if you think he’ll stop the greatest threat that’s held a public office, you might be Joe’s equal in the ignorance department.

I can guarantee you we will finish what we started.
A rabid coalition of activists and politicians,
Sex workers, educators, artists.
Those of us who followed Bernie so close, and fell the farthest.
Who will not falter until all of us are cared for regardless of whether it would turn a profit.

And I am not a leader, or a teacher, or a prophet,
But I am here to proudly say today’s the day I start campaigning for the role of speaker of the house we will build from the bones of the old congress.
And when I say bones, I do not mean framework or stones, I mean literally bones of the old guard keeping us from progress.

Tonight’s the last dawn before things get their darkest.
Calm before the storm
Calm before the harvest.
Tonight’s the last dawn before things get their darkest.
