The Police State

Conspiracy theories notwithstanding
They are creating a police state
They’re not just asking, they’re demanding
They want it now, they can’t wait

They’re building centers of mass detention
They’re not just for deportees
This is not a new invention
They are planting despot seeds

They don’t like it when we use the name
Authoritarian police state
They won’t like when we place the blame
On the ones who say it’s great

But we see what they are doing
It is deliberate and it’s planned
They are funding and ensuring
A new government by one man

You may not like to hear it
But it’s coming just the same
All good souls should fear it
To our most eternal shame
