‘All Right Everywhere’

Green plates, yellow plates
Made in the United States

Nothing noble or discreet
They filled the wells with concrete

Turned off the alarms
Forced families from their farms

Prophesy, “Mayhem!”

All right, all right everywhere
The haughty laid bare

Strong man, stupid man
Following their master plan

Stand there with the lads and boo
What did Uncle ever take from you?

Red-bellied black snake – give it a poke
Lead Belly said it, “Best stay woke”

Their egos will not save them

All right, all right everywhere
The haughty laid bare
