Settin' the Town On Fire
To the
tune of “Settin’ the Woods on Fire”
BLM and
masked Antifa,
Soros
paid and high on reefers,
With a
pass from the Demo creeper,
Tonight,
they’re settin’ the town on fire.
With
spray paint and fireworks shooting,
Breaking
glass and freely looting,
You
resist and they’re prosecuting.
Settin’ the town on fire.
Destroying
people’s livelihoods, but they’re having fun.
Say
they want what’s never worked wherever it’s been done.
Say
their names; support them fully,
Or
they’ll treat you like a bully;
Urban
scene all wild and wooly
Settin’ the town on fire.
We
can’t get close to one another,
But
they’re up one street and down the other.
Social
distancing rules? Oh, brother!
Settin’ the town on fire.
Your
identity is basic,
Did you
know that you’re a racist?
Tear it
down and then replace it.
That’s
why they’re settin’ the towns on fire.
Democratic
governors all look the other way.
Folks
just do what they will do when they’re riled up, they say.
It’s
not reality; it’s feelings.
That’s
why you’ll see ‘em lined up kneeling,
But I
don’t find it so appealing,
This settin’ the towns on fire.
