\u00a0What\u2019s Keeping America?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What used to keep America aloft, enlivening its citizens lives?
\nWhat used to keep America far above the to and the fro?
\nBecause now out here beyond DC\u2019s cold shoulder borders, we’re all down
\nAnd we’re tense in our jaws and teeth of some unseen approaching storm
\nWhat’s to keep America, what’s to keep America safe and warm?<\/p>\n

We know what used to keep America serene like a ship in a harbor
\nWhat’s used to keep America far from the fray and rout
\nNow even our rivers are riled up, even the tough are thrown about
\nTV twits quail like a poor orphaned rogue waifs
\nWhat will keep America, what will make America feel safe?<\/p>\n

That’s why we stand in the cold night just as close as we can with hands out
\nMaybe by seeing the way that she’s being left to fend, we’ll find out<\/p>\n

That’s why we out here stand in the cold just as close as we can with hands out
\nMaybe by seeing the way that she’s being left to fend, we’ll find out<\/p>\n

What’s keeping American heads above the raging flood waters?
\nWhat’s keeping America above all the guttersnipe swell?
\nMedia BS sinks one and all of us, leaving too many jackals minding the store
\nNow what’s keeping America staggers our minds all the more
\nWhat’s keeping America staggers the mind
\nWhat’s keeping America?
\n——<\/p>\n

Maybe these?<\/p>\n
