We Didn’t Come From Nothing
White noise from my TV.
Days of fear and rage.
Walls are rising everywhere.
It’s not a golden age.
Gridlock all around us.
Thinking white and black.
Today the road of progress
Looks like a cul-de-sac.
Hamilton and Jefferson
Lincoln/Douglas, too.
FDR and GOP
Conflict’s nothing new.
We didn’t come from nothing.
We’ve been through it before.
You don’t need to be cynical
If you know the score.
