“My Country ‘tis of Thee” rewrite for July 4, 2025, a Dwindling Freedom’s Day

Song, “My Country’s Misery” by David Albert Farmer (c) 2025 David Albert Farmer

“My Country’s Misery” by David Albert Farmer

Sung to the tune, too ironically, GOD SAVE THE KING ( “My County ‘tis of Thee”), public domain

My coun-try’s mi-se-ry, love of stu-pi-di-ty

Greed and cha-ching!

Found-ed to cham-pi-on

Free-dom for ev’-ey-one.

We ce-le-brate our pre-ju-dice, to_ ha-tred cling.

We’ve choked de-mo-cra-cy, laud-ed hy-poc-ri-sy

De-i-fied wealth.

Ly-ing’s our way of life

We cheer all need-less strife

We ri-di-cule the poor, the lost, those_ in poor health.

For-get our Foun-ders’s dreams, dis-placed by pain-filled screams

MAGAt de-light

In-fants and i'm-mi-grants,

Up-staged by sy-co-phants.

Dis-a-bled peo-ple, el-der-ly their needs are trite.
