Sit back and watch the chaos unfold.
Wait for them to succeed or fail.
Remember the stories you were always told.

Yes, they are loud and dominant and bold,
And hence they are on each other’s tail.
Sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

Planning to leave many out in the cold,
No matter how many protesters scream and wail,
Remember the stories you were always told.

Motives impure but speeches lined with gold,
Money in the bank but not enough to pay the bail,
Sit back and watch the chaos unfold.

None of the citizens like to feel controlled,
Yet it seems many will be thrown into jail.
Remember the stories you were always told.

There is fear, and our faith is hard to hold.
There won’t be much trust in the woman or male.
Sit back and watch the chaos unfold.
Remember the stories you were always told.
