I like it.

(The meter needs a little work, though.)

Thank you. You are right about the meter. I’m not sure exactly what meter is, but I assume you mean the syllables in the lines do not match the notes.

I made some revisions, mostly minor in the way of changing prepositions, removing or adding articles, or replacing some words with synonyms that have shorter or longer syllables.

I don’t think I really have an ear for music. Maybe I am still off somewhere. Maybe it would sound better if “crows” were replaced with “vultures,” for instance.

One line I changed completely. How’s this:

Deck some pikes with heads of traitors
Chorus (C) : Ha ha ha hah hah he hah he hah
Feed their corpses to crows and gators
(C)
Load the rioters into the backs of lorries
(C)
Haul them off to break rocks in quarries
(C)

See tyrant governors cower before us
(C)
Once it’s revealed patriots have arrested Soros
(C)
Seize tech oligarchs’ ill-gotten treasure
(C)
Render to shopkeepers and restore some measure
(C)

Remove crooked senators like Diane Feinstein
(C)
Force all their corrupt cronies to resign
(C)
Subject them to the swift hands of justice
(C)
To preserve our liberty do this we must us.
(C)
