With apologies to Rush

(Sing this to the tune of "A Farewell to Kings.")

When they turn the pages of history, when these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us poor statists, and the power we gave Big Bro?
We turned our gaze from the freedom whose existence
We traded in for the path of least resistance

D.C.’s full of corruption and lies
Grasping hands and cold eyes on the prize
Rich bureaucrats dressed in kingly guise
Beating down our liberty and
Controlling all our lives

The Democrats are hindering
Our nation’s sacred truth
Ancient Biden, Clinton, Sanders
Versus Rand Paul’s youth
Can’t the Founders’ writings make us strong?
Can’t we learn to read and understand
The Constitution?

D.C.’s full of corruption and lies
Grasping hands and cold eyes on the prize
Rich bureaucrats dressed in kingly guise
Beating down our liberty and
Controlling all our lives

Can’t we raise our eyes and make a start?

Can’t we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?
