lyrics

When the fat cat says get the tax man off my back,
When the poor and the middle pay more to pick up the slack,
When we're left in an ocean of debt until we're drowned,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?

When ignorance is seen as a virtue, not a fault,
When "Opinions are equal to facts" is the new default,
When the truth lies dead and gone in a burial mound,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?

When peace is cast aside for division and hate,
When some think "White" is what made our country great,
When the Nazi flag is being paraded around,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?

When folks lament that it ain't like it used to be,
When they trade their freedom for some false "Security,"
When they let their fears trample reason into the ground,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?

When a man takes aim at a concert, church, or mall,
When the only answer given is to "Get small,"
When the bodies pile higher all around,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?

When a man is killed 'cause his God has a different name,
When the people like "Them" are the only ones we blame,
When the Government man says it's time to loose the hound,
Will the Trumpets sound? Will the Trumpets sound?
