The real rulers of Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. (he said this in 1952)
As The Door Swings Shut
It was meant in the beginning
This country is to be
For the people, by the people
Folks like you and me
As lawmakers were to heed our wishes
And others were to enforce them
The president would be in charge
With his staff to re-enforce them
We were to be the ones who ruled
Far behind the scenes
It was our country after all
By every way and means
Come forth we have progressives
With ideas planted in their heads
To transform our republic
Away from what our founders said
They didn't expect the fallout
Of Americans tried and true
They didn't expect us all to stand
To do what we could do
Step aside, you Socialists
And Marxists hit the road
We true Americans are determined
To restore our founders' code
As quickly as you took your power
With your lies and false pretense
We'll take you down lawfully
As our hearts are so intense
There will not be the violence
You predicted when your plans were questioned
We'll peacefully and lawfully
Steer our country in our direction
Your adminsistration thought we could be nudged
Into complacency
But you found that patriots can't be budged
As we're borne to decency
The laws will again be written
With The Peoples' welfare in mind
Take that for what it means today
As the door hits your behind
