Careful Democracy
They take away his liberty
Everything he's got
Put him on the sidelines so he'll breath again
They filled us full of sympathy
For those they saw as lost
Left us here debating sudden empathy
In this democracy that we like best
They take away her sanity
The only thing that's left
Freed her from the plenty where she'll shine again
Upholders of sad dignity
Prepared to count the cost
Hold it by the leash and keep it at arms length
In this democracy that we like best
