There’s a fight on for the Democratic Party
It’s a battle for the soul
By the end of it one faction or the other
Will presumably be in control
The media tells us the conflict
Is between the left and the moderates
That’s how it’s all framed
On your TV set
The left, also known as socialists
Of the allegedly democratic kind
Are a confused bunch of idealists
Listen for a minute, you’ll find
This is a broad consensus
Of the mainstream press
Along with most of the politicians
Although they won’t confess
That it’s hard to understand
Exactly what they mean
When to be a moderate
You must support the war machine
America must be strong, they tell
And stand up to those hordes
This is the moderate position
Missile exports, rattling swords
They say it’s not about those
Political Action Committees
It’s about being moderate
And making the world free
But it’s hard to understand
Exactly what they mean
When to be a moderate
You must support the war machine
The moderate position
Which they say makes sense
Puts the Democrats squarely on
The Republican side of the fence
The side that we might call
The AIPAC Divide
Between the loony left
And supporters of genocide
Yes it’s hard to understand
Exactly what they mean
When to be a moderate
You must support the war machine
“Moderates” will be a track on Ai Tsuno’s upcoming album, A TOAST TO PLANET EARTH, which drops on all the streaming platforms on September 1st.
