Jay Brannan - 26 Hour Day
------------------------------------------

Once upon our time in a land far gone where hate crimes enforced by state crime
Even though they say the land of the free was made for both you and me

Well the girl next door might have cancer and the hospital nearby's got the answer
But she's never been there
Can't afford health care
In the arms of the home and the brave she's carried to her grave

Marionettes for president strung out on wars
And we're not sure who's American anymore
Division of church and state is my kind of separatism
Spreading our love through scare tactics is casual terrorism
And if abortion's murder, let's strip that right away
And who gave women the right to vote anyway?

So many babies brought into the world today
Amongst so many maybes
Like maybe they'll feel loved, be provided for, and have a place to stay
But instead of placing them in loving, stable homes 
That might not fill the conservative bill
They're tossed around the foster system like a hot potato
Instead of making friends with Dorothy they're thrown to the tornado

Death, war ensigned by murders who came to power through the backdoor
Is this democracy or a monarchy?
What do we hold elections for?
You read your personal agenda on a Post-it note
And leave the Constitution lying on the bathroom floor

This is for The World Trade Center
For Columbine
For Oklahoma City
And the lost and lonely friends of mine
For Ireland, Iran, Iraq
And the suffering caused by the Indian Ocean's attack
For ??? and the Berlin Wall, the homeless, the hungry
And slaves to drugs and alcohol
Indian, Australian, African slaves
Native Americans whose amber waves of grain were melted down into white men's riches
Victims of war and for Salem's witches
For boys who were told to act more like boys
And for girls who were told, You only play with girl toys
The voiceless, forgotten, plagued by disease
God help us, please
Please
Please

Maybe one day I'll stop alternating
Between 13 hours of eating and 13 hours of sleeping
And do something about it with what I guess could've been a 26-hour day
