God Bless the Protests in L.A.
Today all the things are going, gone that we’ve worked hard for all our lives.
And ICE is taking immigrants, including children and wives.
There’s a lot to say about living here today.
The oval office is held by a man of treason, and he’s taking all the rights away.
I’m not proud to be an American,
where the press, we know, ain’t free.
I won’t forget we are corporate owned by AIPAC
and robber barons who aren’t for you and me.
Still I’ll gladly stand up next to you
and defend what anitifascists have to say.
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the protests in L.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.
Well, there are questions in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say
I’m not proud to be an American,
where the press, we know, ain’t free.
I won’t forget we are corporate owned by AIPAC
and robber barons who aren’t for you and me.
Still I’ll gladly stand up next to you
and defend what anitifascists have to say.
Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land.
God bless the protests in L.A.

Wonderful callbacks to “God Bless the USA,” even though the events themselves are heartbreaking.
Thank you! It used to be a favorite patriotic song.
But how those views have changed.
Yes. Heartbreaking.
Powerful words. My heart is with you all <3
Well expressed! We’re living in horrible times with the worst president in my lifetime!
Shew, this piece is an indictment.
Love the title. I really like this creative truth-rewriting you did!
