"Kids in America" by Kim Wilde rewritten about protesting in our current political moment ("Kings in America")
This song popped into my head while at a protest so here is an edited version.
Looking at an untrue old Facebook
Scroll below, the cars that are Teslas go rushing by
I sat there alone, and I wondered why
Protest day, and everyone's moving
I can feel the zeal, but it's soothing, sign held high
I hear the chants beat while the pride flags fly
Capitol, progressives are going
Capitol, progressives are growing
There're no kings in America (whoa)
There're no kings in America (whoa)
Everybody should stand for their voting rights
Phone calls, the protest gets louder
Look, hey, don't skip on your vote, not another chance
I'm not stopping now, leaders, in a trance
Hey reps (reps), get in good trouble
Much later, congress, might be saying, "Never mind"
They can be so cruel, but we'll be kind
Still minds don't make a new story
Still minds don't grab any glory
There're no kings in America (whoa)
There're no kings in America (whoa)
Everybody should stand for their voting rights
La, la, la, la-la, la-a
La, la, la, la-la, la (sing)
La, la, la, la-la, la-a
La, la, la, la-la, la
Come lefter, congress, that's better
Got to get the public mobilizing, feeling strong
Don't try to stop now, ally, hist'ry's long
Right now a brave movement's dawning
Right now democracy needs us everywhere
We need to go now, ally
New York to East California
There's a new wave coming, I warn ya
There're no kings in America (whoa)
There're no kings in America (whoa)
Everybody should stand for their voting rights
La, la, la, la-la, la-a
La, la, la, la-la, la (sing)
La, la, la, la-la, la-a
La, la, la, la-la, la
There're no kings
There're no kings
There're no kings in America
There're no kings
There're no kings
There're no kings in America
There're no kings
There're no kings
There're no kings in America
There're no kings
There're no kings
(Prompt by me)
