Among Lands of Hesperia
elites in the DC area
as well in they Bay Area
they are all gripped by hysteria

Blinded by hypocrisy
people fooled we’ve democracy
while owned by plutocracy
and ruled by kakistocracy

While out of touch with reality
thinking somehow we’re praiseworthy
we bask in heedless hyperbole
telling others they’re blameworthy

In that ‘shining city on the hill’
conceited we carry on at will!
