Lyrics

8. Saving the Republic 3:12
music and lyrics by Ernest Troost

Down on the corner
Standin’ in the sun
Waving her sign at everyone
Just one woman, all alone
She’s saving the republic

Down on the corner
Two join one
Shoulder to shoulder till the fight is won
Just three people, make a stand
They’re saving the republic
They’re saving the republic

Bridge
Ain’t no tweet gonna do it
Nor some rant or post
Everybody got to stand and shout
To clear these grifters out

Down on the corner
Underneath the stars
Waving their signs at passing cars
Crowds of people from all around
They’re saving the republic
They’re saving the republic

Down in D.C.
A million strong
People singing on the White House lawn
Waves of people from sea to shining sea
They’re saving the republic
They’re saving the republic
They’re saving the republic
