David Farrell Melton - Capitol Hill lyrics

DAVID FARRELL MELTON Capitol Hill The president gave his people the cue To march down Pennsylvania Avenue Knowing full well they were ready to fight And that a riot he was sure to incite Now you can call it treason or call it a coup But clearly he’s got more than one loose screw So quickly before something big explodes Someone take away his nuclear codes ‘Cause the police were standing still If it was Black Lives Matter they’d be shooting to kill And they knew it wasn’t a drill When confederate flags were on capitol hill There’s a senator with his fist in the air He thinks the election wasn’t fair But how the hell did he got his job Now look at him cheering on an angry mob Of Neo-nazi proud boys Who think their guns are children’s toys It’s hard believing in the law After seeing what we all saw Cause the police they were standing still If it was Black Lives Matter they’d be shooting to kill Still blood it was surely to spill When confederate flags were on capitol hill We all have the right to freedom of speech And we don’t have to be a pastor to preach But If hatred and lies are the message you spread Eventually somebody will end up dead And we saw it coming a mile away America it was on full display And the rest of the world held its applause When democracy was put on pause Cause the police they were standing still If it was Black Lives Matter they’d be shooting to kill And it gave everybody a chill When confederate flags were on capitol hill
