about

[The lyrics to this song serve as a back-and-forth between political party leaders (D, R in the first verse and R, D in the second verse, with the everyman American political voter singing the chorus.]

lyrics

It's a call to order
on the southern border
It's a call to recognize the process
A time for love and vision,
not hate and division,
No time to weaponize the press

Well I've tried and tried to understand the other side
but I just don't think I can

All this endless war
Your war du jour
You wanna fund it? Be my guest.
Olly olly oxen free
Why don't he look just like me?
Why don't he talk like all the rest?

Well I've tried and tried to understand the other side
but I just don't think I can
Well I've tried and tried to understand the other side
but I just don't think I can
