This is a test

To see what feelings we have left

Are we weary of responsibility?

Children in camps

Their faces smeared, bodies limp

This is a test of our democracy

 

This is a test

Of the American machine

Tune in to the huddled masses

Now, on your computer screen

Children in cages

Begging while their mothers scream

This is a test of our democracy

 

This is a test

The salt is wet, the blood is fresh

This is only a test, only a test

This is a test

This is only a test

This is a test of our democracy

This is a test

As we sit safely in our nest

Preparing dinner for our children

As though nothing is amiss

This is a test

Asking God to bless our food

Choking down the ugly truth

Quickly turning off the news

 

This is a test

The salt is wet, the blood is fresh

This is only a test, only a test

This is a test

This is only a test

This is a test of our democracy
