Remember January 6th - MAGA madness

[hardlock]

Here's the link to Shelli's post on the Daily Kos where I discovered her poem.
Remember January 6th
I started with a instrumental from 2015 that seemed to fit nicely. Original was about 6 minutes so had to hack it up and kind of rushed since our election is this coming Tuesday. Any suggestions on how to clean it up is appreciated. Thanks for the listen!

V1
Rage against the repulseicons, that's all that I can think.
Everything they try to do, their actions really stink!
Climate change does not exist, for years they did insist.
"We will not vax! - We will not tax!" - The Truth is always missed.
---------
CHORUS *
---------
V2
Rage against those MAGA-cons - Who do they think they are?
They should be quarantined from us all - And kept away quite far.
Rid us of the MAGA-hordes, they do not wish us well.
Why shouldn't I just say to them:  You ALL can go to Hell.
---------
V3
Are we to turn the other cheek - And act as if we're blind?
Those bullies are a scourge for all. Don't think we shouldn't mind.
Stand up and push that evil back! Don't let them win the day!
'Cause if they win and spread their sin, ALL OF US WILL PAY.
---------
V4
The guns they tote, who will they smote? Good cit'zens you and I.
Good leaders first and what is worst, they'll claim that it's a lie.
They watch Fox "news" - Those B S brews.  Just propaganda poison.
Conservative shills - creating fake thrills. They all should be sent to prison.
---------
V5
'Cause Treason is the game they play, subverting Law and Reason.
We should not wait to lock them up, this might be our last season.
The fascist hordes, and their zealot lords, are hoarding guns and rifles.
We must act now, let's "have a cow"! - These threats are not mere trifles!
---------
* Chorus
So rage be ours! - We shall not cower, nor cover up their sins.
We're duty bound - To turn things around - And make sure - Democracy wins.

I would leave it alone.
I think is it good just the way it is!

And, the words are oh so TRUE

This sounds fine to me, Ken some nice guitar work and other instrumentation such as the orchestral sounds work well. I am not politically minded so I can not comment on the lyrical content only to say that hopefully everything turns out well for the States after this election.

Great music here Hardlock, I love array of instruments here and the spoken word delivery really fits this well. At times, it made me think of the Mothers Of Invention song "Trouble Everyday". Who's to say what will happen after election night.....

I would also leave it as it is .. it sounds really good ..
Great vocals and guitar lead ..  I agree with Ray .. hopefully everything turns out well for the States after this election.  (from your Canadian Neighbor) .

Thanks much everyone! I haven't been commenting enough myself lately but do listen to all the new posts. Way too much great material to keep up with.

Sounds great Ken as it is excellent lyric and the guitar solos are not too shabby either excellent backer fits a treat

Great work Ken, lots of passion and it comes through in everything here. Gonna row in with Ray here on the politics... there is a lot of shit flying in all directions. Not a massive fan on getting too political on public forums so I will leave it there. But great tune.

A fine piece, Ken.  I like to keep my political powder dry as the others have said.
