Tribal Politics
from Ugly Truths / Beautiful Lies by Cliterati
lyrics
Divided to the bone
Main Street America
This all hits too close to home
Before you say
Not in my backyard
Ü know these
Truths r fuckin hard
Families divided
Never to b united
Brother against brother
Disdain for father and mother
We can all disagree
Shouldn't we find
Commonality
We are all the people
Prolly want the same things
Decent living wage
Clean water to drink
An education system
Not on the brink of failure!
It's possible to meet
In the middle
become whole
situation is critical
Sourcing your news
Overloading with
Nothing of value
that's true
Greed and corruption
The basis of our democracy
Another political disruption
Thrown out there
so we won't question
The powers that be
Alterna-facts
That term is fuckin whack
Just another
Tribal politics attack!
Whose the winner
In the great divide
Corporate news
From their greed we can't hide
Baiting us all with lies
We need to question
Their integrity
What happened to compromise
Seen as failure
through some people’s eyes
Ya know hat happened when
Ya compromised baby
All I saw was loss
When I looked in yr eyes
Main Street America
This all hits too close to home
Before you say
Not in my backyard
Ü know these
Truths r fuckin hard
Families divided
Never to b united
Brother against brother
Disdain for father and mother
We can all disagree
Shouldn't we find
Commonality
We are all the people
Prolly want the same things
Decent living wage
Clean water to drink
An education system
Not on the brink of failure!
It's possible to meet
In the middle
become whole
situation is critical
Sourcing your news
Overloading with
Nothing of value
that's true
Greed and corruption
The basis of our democracy
Another political disruption
Thrown out there
so we won't question
The powers that be
Alterna-facts
That term is fuckin whack
Just another
Tribal politics attack!
Whose the winner
In the great divide
Corporate news
From their greed we can't hide
Baiting us all with lies
We need to question

What happened to compromise
Seen as failure
through some people’s eyes
Ya know hat happened when
Ya compromised baby
All I saw was loss
When I looked in yr eyes
