They co-opt us and adopt us,
steal the words that we say.
They corrupt us, interrupt us,
default and delay.
Mr. Marvel, Mr. Lieber, rolls in his grave,
as Americans all are the Orange Skull's slave.
Lying and trying to borrow our song,
with tongues forked and twisted, it comes out all wrong.
With the Dictators Playbook on his nightstand,
he dreams of a people he can command.
One day we'll awake and when we are woke,
then once again we can call him a joke.
Oh Captain, my Captain, I fear you are dead,
they're taking away our roses and bread.
Captain America, won't you come home,
your people are calling, wherever you

“In today’s all too real world, Captain America’s most nefarious villain, the Red Skull, is alive on screen and an Orange Skull haunts America.”
