Bringing down the mighty

what brings down the mighty
what brings such decay
what deflects internal strife
caused by what papers say

to bring down the land of the free
so powerful in military force
do not attack or invade
just let bigotry run it's course

destroy religious harmony
build barriers for them and us
clamp down on racial equality
with no avenue to discus

soon there will be civil strife
repression overdone
there will be no land of safety
when every nutter has a gun
