Description I'm sticking to a familiar chord progression, just a little voting reminder. VOTE NOV. 4TH!!!
Lyrics Chorus:

We're gonna rise and fall as one nation,
We're gonna rise and fall as one nation.

Verse:

I been left right, up down,
Took eight years just to loose my mind,
My house and my job.
I've been black white, wrong train,
On a crowded bus, I hear culture war,
But I don't, wanna, fight, no.

Chorus:

We're gonna rise and fall as one nation,
We have got to rise and fall as one nation.

Verse:

Cuz we've been cheated tools, led by fools,
Run amok in a world dazed and confused, oh.
We've been orange, blue, terrorized at home,
By men who like to sell

So we are going to rise and fall as one nation,
We are going to rise and fall as one nation.

Outro:

Toot toot, toot toot toot, too too too too too, cuz yes we can,
Toot toot, toot toot toot, too too too too too, cuz yes we can,
Yes we can, si se puede, yes we can
Yes we must, yes we must,
Yes we will...
Yes we will, my darling this time,
This time, oh
Fool me once, fool me twice
Won't be fooled again,
We won't be fooled again,
Fool me once, fool me twice,
We won't be fooled again.

Good song
Nicely layered vocals.

I've stayed out of the political rants here but I just hope enough of you guys over there vote the right way and give America back its credibility with the world.

Cheers

Dick

I hope so too
The United States is definitely at a crossroads. The question is: will it rise above the Rove-style fear-mongering, racist populism, and outright lies of the McSame campaign. I've never been shy about where I stand and I'm glad this song isn't either. We shall see what Tuesday brings, but I sincerely hope we embrace hope and the idea of change and start the day on Wednesday talking about President Obama. Great tune!

Yes we will
Thanks Dick, I certainly hope the hunger for change is as universal as it feels over here because you're right, the world is definitely watching. Thanks for the listen :)
