America Again

Our little fascist problem in America keeps
The rich up but the poor down like the mother who weeps
That her children only mattered until they were born
Like when the soldier mattered until he got shattered
Then after that got little but a little fascist scorn

Our little fascist problem will never go away
Until the rest of us wake up and fight back someday
The right thinks they are right for they have been wrong so long
Everyone forgets they are because they are so strong
And though we shatter still we matter so now this is how

With all the money in the world they think they can win
Nor will the poor fight back they think but let us begin
Who struggle day and night to fight this wrong make this right
Not that way of yesterday but by tomorrow's light
And though they may forget today let us remember now

The more they forgot us the more they brought together
The poor who remember love before fearful weather
Of November who we are reclaim our dignity
As American as anyone with liberty
And justice not for some of us but all humanity

Our little fascist problem in America got
Bigger when we looked away then but now we are not
We got discouraged and they got their way for awhile
All the money in the world their anger and their bile
But by surprise we rise to win: America again
