lyrics

"Make Things Great Again" (by Austin Kaufmann)

The kettle’s on the stove, slowly comin’ to a boil.
How long has it been since I’ve polished its tarnished copper?
Time to make it shine again.
Again, shine again, make this tarnished copper shine again.

Dirty laundry’s strewn about, tossed on chairs, on the couch.
How long has it been since I washed jeans I’ve been livin’ in?
But some comfort’s lost when you wash ‘em clean again.
Again, clean again. Yes, some comfort’s lost when you wash ‘em clean again.

Empty bottles on the floor, maybe one or two smashed against that door.
How many nights have we lost? The cost of me not calling you.
Time to make things right again.
Again, right again. Would calling you have made things right again?

I just bought this new guitar; its steel body resonates,
But how long will I miss the familiar feel of my old six-string?
What gets lost when you just buy new again?
Again, new again. What gets lost when you just buy new again?

There’s a pile in the hall of Red and Blue partisan scrawl.
How long has it been since I actually made a contribution?
Time to do my part again.
Again, my part again. Time to do, do my part again.

The news on the TV, the rhetoric’s obscene.
How long till we lose all of our humanity?
What gets lost tryin’ to make things great again?
Again, great again. What gets sacrificed tryin’ to make things great again?
