A Tune for the Times

Are you better off than you were six years ago?

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When towers still stood, `fore alerts were yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
Before we were ruled by that callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember
don’t follow.

Try to remember before wars on terror
‘fore NOLA was swept upon the billows.
Try to remember before rule by error
‘fore lies too huge for us to swallow.
Try to remember `fore laws in a blender
‘fore torture would render our promise hollow.
Try to remember and if you remember
don’t follow.

Deep in November it’s good to remember
Although you know repairs must follow.
Deep in November it’s good to remember
Without it’s soul the nation’s hollow.
Deep in November it’s good to remember
The fires of September and lies you swallowed.
Deep in November our hearts should remember
don’t follow.

Have a song you’d like to add?
