I know I re-posted this one only a few weeks ago but it has to be in this countdown as this is what this is all about.
To the Mamas and the Poppas “California Dreamin’”
(originally posted August 21, 2022)
Autocratic Dreamin’
Democracy’s in straits (Democracy’s in straits)
Getting dire by the day (dire by the day)
New Reich says it’s ok (practically they say)
To let it fade away (let it fade away)
Embracing a big lie’s how (embracing a big lie)
Help usher in a new way (usher in a new way)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day
—
They stepped off of the ledge
All willing still offer pledge
Into abyss of endless lies (and lustful power cries)
They almost seem to pray (almost seem to pray)
To a god of broken things now (god of broken things)
Broken with real bad intent (and where violence sings)
Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day
… break
All the truth is down (all the truth is down)
To be changed by the day (change it by the day)
Even history (even history)
Won’t stand in the way (won’t stand in the way)
Rewrite it backwards forwards (rewrite it forwards backwards)
To fit just what he might say (fit just what he might say)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a fascist day (autocratic dreamin’)
On such a darkened day
