America is like a couple immediately after breaking up - great disdain for other....
The hell? We usedta be father and mother...
We're a teeter and a totter - once happy, now scoff...
Just for 'fun', one side jumps off...
We'd formally visit, depart to "seeya soon, so long."
Now, one school of thought, the other is wrong.
Usedta use every single leaf, one bigass table...
"Huh uh, can't sit there, he's got that label."
Formal tugs of war, our leaders we send..
Pull this way, that way, there is no end...
From afar and close up, this is really, really sad...
"Their fault, not ours, they're breaking bad.."
Holler, yell, dig up 'proof', counter, debate, it's a damn ugly sight...
Humane out the window, it's now all about who's 'right'....
High fives usedta be after homers, three pointers, a way to extoll..
Now it's reward, embrace for profanity laced vitriol..
Where are we, how'd we get here.. can we GPS back, thru the mud and the silt?
It's all but impossible until we all recognize it's an American shared guilt.
Can we Google, ask Alexa, find a way?
We're deep in dog do.. at present, no answers to say...
Wouldn't it be great if we somehow washed hatred away, at least kept it inside?
Recognize old friends as James, Robert, John.. Mary, Patricia, Jennifer -instead of the label, this or that side...
A shuffled deck of cards no more, we now must sort.. sort, sort sort...
Pow wows, Congressional sessions haven't worked, they all end in thwart..
I don't believe any of us, this side, that side, want to live the rest of our lives this way...
How friggin' flippin' bad is that to have to say?
We must return to our old ways.. mutual agreements, not always getting our result, being wholly right..hugs, fist bumps, hand shakes
We're all in this together America, for Heaven sakes...
I ain't got no answers, I lean on you...
Someone weave us back together, the Red, White and Blue..
