Dichotomy of Celebration

Worldwide celebration in the streets
Festival of change
Parade of hopes
Hallelujah peace
Honor our hero
He has come to save us all

Join in jubilant farewell to disgraced fallen leader
Mockery of honor
Spiteful c’est la vie
Good riddance and goodbye
Boo him as he goes
Blame him, now, for all that has gone wrong

Look for change in champion of hopes
Abolish war
Feed hungry mouths
Let freedom ring
Torture none
It is time for tomorrow; watch him bring the sun

Curse the one who brought it on
Invade the innocent
Deplete world strength
Rewrite self-evident
Kill opposition
Such sorrow reaped by one man

Can hero do it on his own?
Share money, oil men
Free slaves, banker-crooks
Build homes, Lockheed Martin
Heal sick and poor, Nazi-druggists
Quite the courage this will take; these are his friends: money-make
