Iconic throwbacks, raging fires
Bombing babies, funeral pyres
Violent vitriol, heightened hate
Bashes and ashes, too little too late

Stop a tattered flag from burning
Kick a shattered fag for yearning
Ignoble politicos, blood on their hands
The hate in their hearts, heads in the sand

Freedom sputters in stifled winds
Expression snuffed by two-faced sloth
Silver betrayal, thirty pieces
Ban the marriages, save the cloth
