lyrics

Smash the stained glass
Wood frame up in flames
All in the name of freedom
Then sweep up the mess
And pretend to forget
All in the name of freedom
Keep chasing more
Bigger houses, smaller phones
All in the name of freedom
Live forever in clouds
Without a care for the ground
All in the name of freedom

Welcome home, Mr. President
Back to business as usual
Like the last four years
Were just a bad dream

Weary bones feel
Older than their years
All in the name of progress
We work til we’re broke
And decay like compost
All in the name of progress

Welcome home, Mr. President
Back to business as usual
Like the last four years
Were just a bad dream
Welcome home, Mr. President
Let’s right this ship
With the same old script
To make a few folks rich

Call me a cynic
But I’ve seen it before
When we pin our hopes
On old white men
And in the battle for the American Dream
It seems that dream
Isn’t for everybody
But I hope this time
It’s different

Welcome home, Mr. President
Back to business as usual
Like the last four years
Were just a bad dream
Welcome home, Mr. President
Let’s right this ship
With a few new scripts
That’s all we wish
