| There are riots there in Portland |
| People getting out of hand |
| They've tear gassed the mayor |
| while people stick it to the man |
| Anger around the country flared |
| with George Floyd's demise |
| Cities defund police |
| for actions we despise |
| [chorus] Portland, Oregon |
| society breakdown |
| when will things de-escalate |
| from this nasty shakedown |
| Where will this lead to? |
| seems like anarchy has grown |
| This viral pandemic |
| has made life worse than we have known |
| [chorus] |
| Income inequality |
| grows monthly year to year |
| Whether politicians can fix it |
| is abundantly unclear. |
| [chorus] |
| Looting and vandalizing |
| won't get you to the end |
| Dr, King and Ghandi |
| have shown the way my friend. |
| We're all in this together |
| the rich ones and the poor |
| conservatives and liberals |
| let's not start another war. |
