The Forgotten Man - Jon McNaughton



Against the background
Of a gloomy picture
A distraught man found
He'd no hope for his future

Blown by pollution
A paper danced by
It was the constitution
He heard claps midst an outcry

As behind him, he saw
Presidents of the past
Some came to console
Others came to gloat at the trash

George Washington, alone
Quickly reached low
"What have you now done?"
He wanted to know

The President, then smug
Looked far far away
Power, his drug
He'd gotten his way

The man... he must look up
Time is of the essence
He must say, "Enough!"
And reclaim man's existence

Freedom has a cost
Faith is required
All is not lost
Under God, he'll be inspired
