Some of the Founders and Framers of the Constitution did more than turn over in their graves... they actually resurfaced to sing “The Day Democracy Died.” That, plus they “dig those rhythm and blues! Featured are in order of appearance: George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. Massive gratitude to Don McLean for the iconic masterpiece “American Pie.“ Respect!

No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy Is Putin the one to blame ‘Cause we all know it was not Ukraine Who lost it by three million strong And do you believe the shit he says Repeated by Fox talking heads We’re quite amazed they fell for such a con All the red hats at his rallies cheer But there must be something in the beer ‘Cause if they had a brain Then they’d know this man’s insane He was a loser bullied by his Dad Kept bailing out his debts gone bad He craved the love he never had The day democracy died, so now we’re singin’ No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy Every four years we all make a choice And try to unite our divided voice I guess that’s how it’s always been Now we find ourselves in this crazy state In a war to vote for love or hate And we can’t ever let the darkness win Oh, dictatorship was not our thing But electors picked a tyrant king Impeaches sure taste sweet Oh but now that’s all history ‘Cause when Moscow Mitch gets on the case Then honor’s gone without a trace And we all prayed they’d be replaced Before democracy dies, now we’re singin’ No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy Face it, face it, he’s just a racist And “white” is what he means by “greatest” Rich and white is better, yes A mobster with a crooked past Who laundered condos for autocrats But he can’t outrun the bloodhounds on his tracks ‘Cause the time keeps ticking like a fuse Fifty-two percent are not amused Too many to suppress Who want a White House repossessed Yeah, we know that right is on our side And soon we’ll look back full of pride Together we can reverse the tide Before democracy dies , now we’re singin’ No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy Oh, and when we’re alone in that booth All generations, age and youth The time has come to pick the one So come on, search your heart and search your soul Don’t flush our planet down a hole For an orange ass who’s blotting out the sun Oh, and as I watch him on a stage His lips — they twist in fits of rage Playing the victim well He casts his creepy spell And as conspiracies on Facebook flow We flip the page and just say no Because only sheep would watch that show And let democracy die , we’re all singin’ No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy I met a girl who chose him once Now she regrets she played the dunce And she’s a leading activist I went down to the polling place Saw lines for miles, all happy-faced And the crowd there knows who they’re not gonna pick And on the screens the pundits shriek A slanted poll, an angry tweet Hackers interfering It’s too late for a hearing Good thing you and I and all our friends Now realize our life depends On making sure this madness ends Before democracy dies , yeah we’re all singin’ No, don’t let democracy die He’s a famous ignoramus — can’t tell truth from a lie And if he wins we’ll kiss our country goodbye Singin’ vote for anyone but this guy Vote for anyone but this guy, we’re all singin’
