Woke up this morning
Feet hit the floor
Turned on the news
Heard it all before
Rachel and Brian
They know the score
I see them on TV nightly
And Heard it all before
The political fabric
Has been ripped and tore
Now we’re in the doldrums
Heard it all before
Shakespeare had it rightly
He told it all before
To be or not to be
Heard it all before
We march for racial justice
On the streets and to the store
Black lives now matter
Heard it all before
In 1918 the flu
Struck our native shore
Now the virus is a-ragin’
Heard it all before
POTUS says don’t worry
He reassures galore
Open up, goddamit
Heard it all before
The Others are comin’ for ya
Jumpin’ at the shore
He’s for law and order
Heard it all before
What price xenophobia?
Are we better off before?
A past that never happened
We’ve heard it all before
