I’ve got those dirty, lowdown, long shutdown blues.
You have to be aware of it; it’s all over the news.
Trump’s become an autocrat, and now we’ve got to choose.
Will we stand up strong and fight, or are we bound to lose?

The public turned its back on us; we lost last year, it’s true.
We talked about democracy; they asked for something new.
Retribution’s now the thing; Trump’s crushing all that’s blue.
If we don’t stop him here and now, he’ll come for me and you.

I’ve got the blues.
The post-election blues.
Some think we need new leadership
But I’ve sure paid my dues.
The country’s getting very dark;
It’s hard to see much light.
The center wanders aimlessly;
The left just wants to fight.
