God Help America
Ttto God Bless America
Words copr. 2022 by Mark Mandel

God help America,
Land where I live,
Where the pow'rful and wealthy
Always take for themselves, never give.

From the mountains to the prairies
To the oceans white with foam,
God help America,
The land they own.
God help America,
The land they own.

------------------------------

Yes, it's cynical and depressed and exaggerated. But it's the way I'm feeling a lot of the time these days.

"But when you take the blues and make a song
you sing them out again"

Filkers gotta filk, and catharsis is often good.
