Dear Leader

Dear leader

Your perfume smells like

Smoke from the pyre of the peace-bearing dove

A boot stepping on the face of everything I've ever loved

Dear leader Dear leader

Now all those racists who would kill for their law and order

Can go ahead and build their walls on every single border

Build them right between the hands of a mother and daughter

You can fix that little girl up but after you've bought her

But it's only right

That you should choose

Who you accept

And who you refuse

But when the waters rise it's gonna be you, Miami

Dear leader Dear leader

And when you go out looking for an ark to get in

You will ask your God but he'll be busy getting risen

And the rich will be too busy buying all that stock in private prisons

That's where they'll send you for talking about socialism

Now Silicon Valley's prepping for the fall of Capitol Hill

Don't wanna fight but if we have to we will

Hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill

Dear leader Dear leader

This is real life now, it's not a test

As the curtain falls, and the chaos crests

There's only one thing that's as strong as death

And love is all, passes every test

Yes love is all that we'll have left

Yes love will be all that we'll have left

I'm an old-fashioned girl still believe in Democracy

But we can only choose things that we can see

And the dark money is rising like the warming coastal sea

Dear leader Dear leader

Now all the bigots of our nation, I'll greet you with a pink carnation

All the witches in the house, let us say our incantations

Because the new messiah, she's facing incarceration

Will the ocean Goddess rise to take all the plantations

Is there some history that we aren't doomed to repeat?

I've watched the History Channel and human nature is hard to beat

Some say it's bad luck, but it's just the fruit of our dreams

And dear leader, the future is a scream
