READ ABOUT THE YEARS
sung to the tune of “Reeling in the Years” with apologies to Steely Dan.
Your democratic freedoms, you can see them fading fast.
So you express your moral outrage with a social media blast.
Well, you’ve forgotten your history
of recent decades in this land.
Your panic and stress show that you don’t understand.
You need to read about the YEARS of Joe McCarthy’s time,
’68-and-Kent-State,
and why Nixon resigned.

’68-and-Kent-State,
and why Nixon resigned.
You keep forgetting there’s nothing new under the sun.
In your youth you were blissfully ignorant
and always having fun.
But the real world and politics
have made you cynical and mad.
The fears your elders grew by, you don’t understand.

but democracy takes a lot of time.
GOP versus Hollywood is seared upon your mind.
The nation will survive this.

History shows things aren’t hopeless.
Read– you’ll understand.
