The End of Democracy


A Song for Donald and His Friends

Hey, now
Will you go away
And we’re so tired
Of the things that you say
Even though you never said a word that would help anyone but yourself
Tomorrow is such a bad dream
Oh, what a bad dream

 

“A Song for Richard and His Friends,” Chicago, Carnegie Hall, April 1971


 

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.
