It's the 4th of July, a big celebration 

To commemorate the birth of our nation 

You must excuse me, don't feel so fine 

When I think of our country at 249

Looks like the U.S. has now reached an age 

It may feel, time to turn the page 

Turn our backs on our history 

Say goodbye to democracy 

Our leader's a man, don't dare ask him why

Doesn't like a law? He'll just nullify

'The rule of law? The hell with the rules

I do what I want, you can't stop me, fools!'

How about the courts? They should step up and say 

Along with Congress 'This isn't ok'

But, it's become self-evident 

Nobody's willing to take on the President 

The U.S. will endure and for what it's worth 

I recall these words on the day of its birth 

But something feels strange, the words need a change 

'Government of, by and for the people 

Will soon perish from the Earth'
