about

The cracks are showing- people are slowly waking up.
Make them see.

lyrics

Send in the clowns- pop the cork- let's celebrate; cause life's too short
Let's be clear- no war has been won; but Papa Bear is done

Held the party line every night- from ages fifty to ninety-five
That Wrinkled face that smug old smirk fuck that pompous jerk

His time has come- he's off the tube- this day couldn't come too soon
He played himself out- let's wave goodbye- and give out a collective sigh

We've got our highs- hit some awful lows-well that's life kid- that's how it goes
But I guess- he'll never know- that your friends can become foes

You just can't hit 'reset'- what's to say? Papa Bear: just put it away
We've had enough- pack those bags- and hoist that large white flag

We'll take that win- a small victory- a glimmer of light we all can see
But be warned- if ya cut off a head- another will appear instead

So hear me out- just scream, please shout; confront those monsters that lurk about
twenty four seven- three sixty five- ya know we've been trying this whole time

To understand- to evolve - to love others who hate all
regardless of gender, color or race; try understand and embrace us all

Compassion regards sympathy- don't you run away from me

Hear these word's- dearest Bill, Donald, and those up on The Hill
We won't stop- searching for truth- tread lightly on those who speak against you.
