God and Democracy

Lightning struck the steeple
 You could see it for many miles around
 All the towns people
 Stopped, startled by the sound
 There came this awful crack
 The sky turned orange black
 And bricks started raining on the ground
 With the loudest boom I ever heard
 I watched that church fall down
 There's a man on the TV screen
 Talking the same nonsense every day
 And I don't mean to be mean
 But we don't need more clichés
 I'm tired of cheaters driven by greed
 Angry old tweeters who don't like to read
 Where are the leaders who know how to lead
 Who always find the right thing to say
 If this town still had a church
 I would go there and pray
 I feel my faith start to fade
 In the storybook plans that we made
 I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
 Can we still find our way?
 The things we once believed in
 They've all seemed to disappear
 Like God and democracy
 What comes next Isn't clear
 Foundations start to creak
 And people start to freak
 Like we're all doing this year
 And if there's nothing left to hold on to.it's just about the fear
 I feel my faith start to fade
 In the storybook plans that we made
 I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
 Can we still find our way?
 Can we still find our way?
 Can we still find our way?
 Just trying to find my way
 I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
 Can we still find our way?
 Can we still find our way?
 Can we still find our way?
