Collateral Damage Lyrics

The ink dries on the paper, the damage is done

A stroke of the pen, and the safety is gone

Hospitals brace for the tidal wave's crash

Millions left stranded, no doctor, no cash!

The FDA slowed, the CDC cut!

Medicaid slashed while the rich keep their glut!

Veterans left waiting, their meds out of reach

EPA crumbling, no clean air to breathe!

Collateral damage, the cost of his reign

The weak and the sick left to suffer in vain!

While billionaires toast in their towers of gold

The country is burning...

Our future's been sold!

We're collateral damage, ghosts in the streets!

They count their money while we face defeat!

We break our backs, they steal our breath!

They deal in power...

We deal with death!

Children lose lunches, their schools underfunded

Rural towns empty, their clinics now gutted!

Cancer drugs rationed, the price far too steep!

The system once stable...

NOW HAS CRACKS... DEEP!

Social Security left out in the cold

Seniors abandoned, their stories untold!

Pharma stocks soaring, insurance too high

The people cry out...

BUT THEIR VOICES DIE!

Collateral damage, the cost of his reign

The weak and the sick left to suffer in vain!

While billionaires toast in their towers of gold

The country is burning...

Our future's been sold!

We're collateral damage, ghosts in the streets!

They count their money while we face defeat!

We break our backs, they steal our breath!

They deal in power...

We deal with death!

Collateral damage, the cost of his reign

The weak and the sick left to suffer in vain!

While billionaires toast in their towers of gold

The country is burning...

Our future's been sold!

We're collateral damage, ghosts in the streets!

They count their money while we face defeat!

We break our backs, they steal our breath!

They deal in power...

We deal with death!

We deal with death!

From the FDA down to the National Parks

Every last office stripped down in the dark

They call it reform... they call it the plan...

But it's just more destruction in greedy hands!

Collateral damage, the cost of his reign

The weak and the sick left to suffer in vain!

While billionaires toast in their towers of gold

The country is burning...

Our future's been sold!

We're collateral damage, ghosts in the streets!

They count their money while we face defeat!

We break our backs, they steal our breath!

They deal in power...

We deal with death!

So light a candle for those left behind!

The ones who can't pay...

THE ONE'S LEFT TO DIE!

A nation once promised, now lost to decay

One stroke of a pen...

He took it all away!

He took it all away!

He took it all away!
