Which version do you prefer?
Verse 1:
Bidden spotlighted, under glare,
Voice weak, raspy, infected,
Stuttered, stammered, on stage.
Sound decision-maker,
Lost in gestures, not quite there.
?
Chorus 1:
O, Dems, high expectations,
Went out swinging, for knock-out punch,
Panic buttons triggered, anxiety galore,
Beat themselves up.
?
Verse 2:
Trump’s anger simmering inside.
Erratic chaos-maker.
Strongman’s strawman, set on fire
Thought incoherence, ran amok,
Falsehoods, lies, spit-fired out.
?
Chorus 2:
O, Repubs, low expectations,
Out for a rave night,
Intoxicated, with fool-aid,
Trance beat kept them upright
?
Bridge:
O, debate night blues,
Doubts raised, second thoughts.
Will Biden the whisperer, lead a second term?
Or will Don the Con, the loudmouth, take his turn?
?
Outro:
D.S.A., Divided States of America,
Extreme polarizations, torn up inside
Fear, tension, hate, rage,
Divisive toxicities thrive,
Who will lasso this emotional tornado?
?
Outro verse
Born,
Born in the D.S.A.,
Divided States of America
?
Who,
O, who, will heal the D.S.A.?
Only the American people can.
?
Who,
O, who, will heal D.S.A.?
Only the American people can.
