The Battle Hymn of the Republic 2026

                            Lyrics by Christopher Mahon. Traditional music.

 

     Donald Trump's a traitor and his party backs him up

     The GOP have sold us out to Putin and his pup 

     Their party's full of crooks, and their judges are corrupt

     It's time to clean our house!

Chorus:

     We the people hold the power

     We grow stronger by the hour

     See the revolution flower

     As we take back what is ours

 

     They broke in to our capitol to cram it in their maw

     They smeared their shit on all of us-- Our history and our law

     They deny the evidence that everybody saw

     It's time to clean our house!

Chorus

     The millionaires and billionaires want more and more and more

     They can only get it by taking from the poor

     Their place in our society's a nasty pus-filled sore

     It's time to clean our house!

Chorus

     Their cult is cold and heartless 

     They revel in their hate

     They want to trample all our rights

     And they will call it great

     We'll show them what we're made of

     And send them to their fate

     It's time to clean our house!

Chorus

     The spirit of twenty-six will lead us on to victory

     We'll fight for all we're worth so to keep our nation free

     When citizens rise the tyrants fall and that's our history

     It's time to clean our house!

Chorus

 

 I don't imagine myself another Joe Hill, but this song is from my deep heart's core. As we enter these troubled times, we must remember our strength, and hold onto our resolve.
