“ANOTHER JANUARY 6”         

Words and Music by JIM NOVAK, 2/4/25

[VERSE 1]    Thirteen billionaires work for Donald Trump

They want You to thank Them, for their service. 

Billionaires in government, won’t they enrich themselves?

They want to convince you, Don’t Be Nervous

[VERSE 2]   Elon Musk, not elected, not appointed, or vetted

His DOGE Bro’s  are cruel but efficient

Rolling up the Treasury, civil service, foreign aid

It’s a combo:  to be lawless and omniscient.

[Chorus 1]   And now, every day’s Another January 6

From Capitol Hill to the White-House Ellipse

They broke into the Government so they could take a sh*t

Every single day is Another January 6, January 6.

[VERSE 3]   Justice has an arc, when we meet the situation

But the rich play a never-ending  game.

Hating on the government,  feathering their nest

The Lies and Propaganda Hall of Shame. 

[Chorus 2]   And now, every day’s Another January 6

From Capitol Hill to the White-House Ellipse,

Democracy’s irrelevant, Congress is eclipsed.

Every single day is Another January 6, January 6.

[BRIDGE] 

Citizens properly pissed  stand up and resist

Pushing back on autocrats,  and the dirty Muskrats…

[Chorus 3]   But for now, every day’s Another January 6

From Capitol Hill to the White-House Ellipse

They broke into the government so they could take a sh*t

Democracy’s irrelevant, Congress is eclipsed.

Every single day is Another January 6, January 6.
