post election song

Wake up, look around
open your eyes and see
this is the state we're living in
the home of the free?

We're choosing our leaders
with fear and hate
to protect us from things
that aren't a threat
while threats go ignored
along with reason

Wake up, look around
open your eyes and see
this is the state we're living in
the home of the free?

America has spoken
or so they say
voting morality
the American way
with intimidation dishonesty
and the law on their side

Wake up, look around
open your eyes and see
this is the state we're living in
the home of the free?

What is the solution
not lying in wait
4 more years
will be too late
there's power in violence
but what about peace?
(there must be a different way)

Wake up, look around
open your eyes and see
this is the state we're living in
the home of the free?

Maybe I'm overreacting
is there such a thing?
but I've opened my eyes
I don't like what I see
Canada really looks
good to me
