My latest song. NOTE: This song was originally going to be my Friday release for December 4th, 2020; I'm releasing it early for...reasons. Accordingly, its appearance in online stores (except Bandcamp) may be delayed.

The Usurper - by Hopalong Ginsburg

When freedom’s sacrificed for safety
Corruption and cowardice abound
When the rule of law is abandoned
And justice nowhere to be found

Who is it we fight? The Usurper!
Who’s the enemy? The Usurper!
Who betrayed us all? The Usurper!
Live free or die!

When the voice of the people is silenced
And the courts can offer no relief
When a whore is the power behind the throne
And the nation is led by a thief

Who is it we fight? The Usurper!
Who’s the enemy? The Usurper!
Who betrayed us all? The Usurper!
Live free or die!

Don’t surrender, don’t despair!
Don’t let your country die!
Remember the Battle of Athens
And keep your powder dry!

Who is it we fight? The Usurper!
Who’s the enemy? The Usurper!
Who betrayed us all? The Usurper!
Live free or die!

Who is it we fight? The Usurper!
Who’s the enemy? The Usurper!
Who betrayed us all? The Usurper!
Live free or die!

Going for that Rob Zombie vibe, eh?

I was thinking Iron Maiden with a touch of early Rush, but that works too.

I really like this poem song. You are very good and should do much more.

Do you have any ideas on how we might organize?

The best way to “organize” is to meet your neighbors.
