The racists never really went away,
Just hid themselves in the background,
Nurturing their hate for that fateful day.
Appearing again with political sway
Marching, shouting, banners unwound.
The racists never really went away.
Dooming us all to hear them bray,
Their dystopian message echoes and sounds,
Nurturing their hate for that fateful day.
Populism emboldened, a fascist craze,
Corrupt beyond corruption espoused,
The racist never really went away.
A carrion call, democracy flayed,
Rife xenophobia sweeping the towns,
Nurturing hate for that fateful day.
Can we stop this unholy passion play?
Drive them back into the ground?
The racists never really went away,
Nurturing hate for that fateful day.
