I lived through an attempted coup.
Did you?

Saw it unfold on the news,
must be true.

Heard them screaming hang pence
as they rolled out the noose.

Watched them break the glass
scale the wall, beat the cops,
bust the locks
off our democracy.

Our sovereign nation
was invaded 
on the sixth of January.

I saw it.
You saw it, too.

Call it what it was.
Insurrection.
Sedition.
Vile hatred spewed.

We’re lucky to have weathered it.
But they’re not close to through.
Now we have work to do.

First thing, let’s set the record straight.
On this fact there’s no debate.

Folks, we lived through
an attempted coup.
