about

It's an election year and politics are bad. This is my protest song for change and it is one that almost everyone can agree with.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
They’ve been fabricating lies
And the facts are trivialized
There’s an insecurity deep down inside

This ethical downfall
That they don’t see at all
Continues to be claimed as justified

CHORUS:
I want to trust what I see
Lately it’s hard to believe
They say what they want
And do what they will
I’ve fallen out of love
With those on Capitol Hill

VERSE 2:
They’ve been letting us down
Rather than turning things around
Do you know what that’s doing to me

If I find the words
I don’t know they’ll be heard
The people need more victories

CHORUS

SOLO

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
I’m tired of being displaced
As history tries to erase
The impact on my neighbors and me

There’s a state of mind
For those who’ve fallen behind
Been there, then you know what I mean

CHORUS:
I want to trust what I see
Lately, it’s so hard to believe
They say what they want
And do what they will
I’ve fallen out of love
With those on Capitol Hill
