Your Monster's Come To Life (Song A Day #1338)
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 2012-08-30

I've been torturing myself by watching the RNC. I didn't catch this live, but I came across this clip online where this woman from Puerto Rico (which as you know is a territory of the US) got up to speak and was confronted with angry chants of "U S A! U S A!". The GOP crowd was so angry that the chairman of the RNC had to intervene and ask them to respectfully listen to the lady. Here's the clip:

Your Monster's Come To Life
Song A Day #1338

Bm
you set the spark
F#
and stoke the fire
Bm    F#
and then you act surprised
G
When the flames go up
D
When the barn comes down
A
Right there before you're eyes
Bm     F#
The tools that you manipulate
Bm    F#
Are more powerful each day
G     D
And they will overcome you 
G      D
They'll crush you and take from you
G     D
The marrow and the sinew 
A
Of your ideology 
   Bm      F#       G
So don't get upset
   Bm     F# G
Don't be like that
     D  A
It's all your own damn fault
 G   F#
Your flock is ready to fight
It is too late
To turn around
And turn them all to salt
Your monster's come to life

rocks are thrown
voices used
to tear down the innocent
people dead
with ideas cast
in rebar stoked cement
the words you shout
have moved the herd
to break free from their cage
to drop bombs on all the weaklings
retching melting reeking
of the forfeit tired teachings
of your ideology
