Axe to Grind

The same old tricks have worked for years
Built upon our deepest, darkest fears
With the public trust misplaced
Democracy’s been erased, our country laid to waste
And I will not digress
From this illicit mess
Party lines have not been kind and I have got an axe to grind
Let loose your axe and swing away
The same old tricks have worked for years
Dividing ridings with unequal peers
From poll to poll they deck the halls
Heretics and robocalls
We stand on guard for nothing at all
And I will not digress
From this illicit mess
Party lines have not been kind and I have got an axe to grind
Off with his head, make sure he’s dead
We can’t just sit around
Stand up and make a sound
And I will not digress
From this illicit mess
Party lines have not been kind and I have got an axe to grind
Let loose your axe and swing away
