lyrics

The good old days were not so great ....
They were filled with bile they were filled with hate
His opponents at the time called Lincoln a monkey

They called FDR a commie dictator
In fact most of the presidents had their haters
Political speech has always been funky

But damn, it’s ugly (3x)
its ugly out there

Is the difference now that the stakes are higher
Or is that the rabble rousing choir
From social media's now just higher volume

It's true in the last 30 years
This s...'s been worse than I have feared
Not seeming to get better anytime soon

and damn it's ugly
damn, its ugly
damn, its ugly out there

The level of corporate money is a new development
Subverting all the good things about our government
The gerrymandered House no longer the people like you and me
Is it the home of the timid and the land of the not so free?

Cause damn, it’s ugly…
