How America Was Made Great Again
This is about a disconcerting number of countries being steered toward antagonistic, xenophobic nationalism and exceptionalism by a (very much behind the scenes) handful of the unimaginably wealthy and influential using the recent MAGA movement as a sinister benchmark. It talks about inherently negative personality traits like ignorance and ruthlessness being twisted into virtues, and the weaponisation of God-fearing obedience.
Love and concession are pits populated by people who've never held power of their own
Healthy oppression and God given hatred are rights that I'm sure adorn each nation's throne
The wealthiest priests in the land will lay on their hands while crossing their toes
'cos if God had intended for war to be over
it wouldn't have been me that He chose
With the blessing of arms and a straight faced 'Amen',
this is how America was made great again
Wisdom and reason are nothing but poor folk in service of thick skin and cavalier tongue
Flush out the experts, give dumb beasts the scent, saddle a slogan and whip 'til it runs
A state funded artist will fashion a symbol so simple
it seems like it's always been there
'cos if God had intended for thought to be free
it would not be so easily snared
With the pouring of power and no one to say 'when',
this is how America was made great again
Tact and civility hinder the highborn ambition of anyone hustling to reign
Use every blunt instrument nature provides you to win and you're free to rewrite the campaign
The filthiest lawyers will work through the night, moving words around while you sleep
'cos if God had intended for law to be sacred
He wouldn't have made it so cheap
With a spoilt brat in charge of a booby-trapped den,
this is how America was made great again
With a future historian's dark tale of then,
this is how America was made great again
