Convince us otherwise
Our mythos too distant
Heroes dead and gone
Nation lost to the instant
Flags lain on lawn
Convince us otherwise
Children can’t believe
No regal fathers extant
For whom to behave
Truth of state to chant
Convince us otherwise
Spirit of the law
While liars are winners
Scraps under table
From thousand-dollar dinners
Convince us otherwise
Your suits are in peril
Threads turning bare
Truth from a barrel
Soldiers a’scare
Convince us otherwise
We need that great hope
Brothers are warring
Sickened by dope
No light in the morning
Convince us otherwise
While we simply dissent
Cities in rubble
Bodies for rent
You’ve burst the bubble
Convince us otherwise.
