about
This song is a prayer to America. I wrote it as if America's collective consciousness had a collective conscience to which one might appeal during dire circumstances. In previous elections, I might have called the Republican nominee a monster, and I might have even meant it at the time. I disagree with the republican platform, and with the philosophies from which it has been derived. I see with the clarity of retrospect that any monster I saw back then was only of the metaphorical variety. The monster casting his shadow over tomorrow's election is all too real. I will not list his fangs, because you know them all too well. I implore you in the name of decency to reject Donald Trump, and vote for his far more virtuous rival Hillary Clinton. I want to have a family, and my best family making years will likely fall in the next president's term. I shudder at the indecent world my children may be born into should you make the wrong choice. Do the right thing.
lyrics
Think it through
America
Do the right thing
And you know what it is
Let the babes in their cribs
Keep their innocence
Hold the monster at bay
America
Do the right thing
And you know what it is
Let the babes in their cribs
Keep their innocence
Hold the monster at bay
