I saw an article today about last January 6th which angered me, so I decided to write about that.
We Saw it in Real Time
© 2022 Cindy Prince
"It was normal tourist visit"
The hell you say
The police were "Harassing peaceful patriots"
No, it was a mob trying to get their way
"It must have been Atifa!"
No, they were Trumpsters through and through
"Most of the crowd was jovial"
No, it was an out and out coup!
Chorus
Shut up with the stupid lies
Shut up with the whiney cries
It was far from a victimless crime
Face up because Trump didn't win
Don't ever try to do it again
Man, we saw it in real time!
"It’s because it fits their narrative.”
No, the left didn't make this up
"There were few if any people armed"
Why don't you shut the fuck up?
Repeat chorus

Speaking truth to injustice in a succinct and clear way. I'm sure someone will have a good setting of this to music!

Sing it..Truth! Cindy, I may have to try and put this to music..I have a week full of Doctors appointments though...Hopefully someone does create a giant protest song out of your wonderful lyrics!!
@acousticmaddie Feb 2022
I can see and feel the anger. Thats a great write.
@mikeb Feb 2022
It angers me, too, Cindy to see the Repubs who were elected to office trying to brush the whole insurrection off as a 'peaceful protest'. Glad you put it in hard harsh words!

Such a painful episode in this country's history. Makes me angry too that people are still trying to lie about it. Your title gets right to the heart.

Oh man, excellent rhymes and you can feel the frustration in this lyric.
