Lyin' King 2020

You can lie, such a liar
Somebody’s pants are on fire
See the clown, watch him sing
Diggin’ the Lyin’ King
Lying’s always come naturally
Though you call it hyperbole
You invented a legend:
“Artist of the Deal”
Making it sound so real
Lying helped you to build your brand
Write the myth of the self-made man
Then you got The Apprentice
Everyone could see how you turned out to be
Ruthless and conscience-free
You are the Lyin’ King…
Old and gross such a nasty thing
Lyin’ King…
Tweety bird with a song to sing
You can lie, such a liar
Somebody’s pants are on fire
See the clown, watch him sing
Diggin’ the Lyin’ King
Now you’re facing a new disease
You’re not ready for times like these
Talking ‘bout the pandemic
See the people die
Trapped in another lie
All your money and all your fame
All the pressure and all the blame
Pin it all on Obama like you always do
Nobody’s fooled by you
Nothing you say is true
You are the Lyin’ King…
Old and gross such a nasty thing
Lyin’ King…
Tweety bird with a song to sing

Once there was a selfish boy,
Fame and fortune brought no joy
Wanted to become the king
Of everyone and everything...
Foreign policy he does so well
Distant lands need Trump Hotels
Won't admit to doing wrong
Although the evidence is strong
Loves the bad boy reputation
Doubles down in desperation
Always lets resentments linger
Gives the world his middle finger
Used to getting things his way
Cracking more and more each day
Orange Artist of the Deal
Gonna kill the rat who squealed
Rivals are his enemies
Started digging overseas
Made some calls and said “hello"
Offered up some quid pro quo
Rudy says “It ain't no crime,
The mafia does this all the time”
Paranoid in Crazy Town
Tweeting as he hunkers down
Spinning madly every day
Still the truth won't go away
Spitting on the rule of law
Ready for the last hurrah
What about those tax returns?
Nasty secrets we should learn
Strap him to a lie detector
Dump him in the private sector
Make a deal he can't refuse
Dress him up in prison blues
Greatest man to walk the Earth
Ship him off to Leavenworth
Now he gets to make new friends
Lompoc needs a few good men

Kangaroo Court
02:06
|

|
They know he did it but they turn a blind eye
They’re getting everything they want from their guy
No need for witnesses or treasonous talk
They know he’s guilty but they’re letting him walk
They’re circling the wagons and holding down the fort
The ass-kissing lackeys on the Kangaroo Court
They say the Democrats are making it up
They pledge allegiance but they know he's corrupt
He’s always been a hoodlum but they really don’t care
The party’s on a mission and he’s taking them there
The hearing’s disappearing ‘cause they’re cutting it short
Complicit and dismiss it, they’re the Kangaroo Court
Party over country with conscience shoved aside
It’s Mourning in America the day democracy died
They know the emperor is wearing no clothes
They stay submissive while they're holding their nose
They preach of family values with a little caveat
The battle cry is “cheat and lie until you get caught”
And even though the emperor was trying to extort,
He got exonerated by the Kangaroo Court
The Democrats tried but their efforts fell short
The emperor is laughing at the Kangaroo Court
Election is the touchdown, money's the sport
The fix is always in at the Kangaroo Court

So bring your shotgun and your pickup truck
We’re gonna liberate ‘cause we don’t give a fuck

Coronavirus to play upon your fears
So bring your handguns and your rifles too
We’re gonna liberate and screw that fake news
Come on now (Liberation)

All you red caps ‘round the state

Let’s liberate, we’re all white

Obamagate

It was the best of times
Everything was going fine
Now it's the worst of times
I spread the blame 'cause it isn't mine
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
'cause he's the one that all my people love to hate
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
Like I always do
Media conspiracy
Trying to get the best of me
So I use the same lie
I blame it on that black guy
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
'cause he's the one that all my people love to hate
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
Like I always do
The white folks cut me a lot of slack
‘Cause I’m the one whose gonna get their country back
I say anything, they still believe
And I’ve got a Trump card up my sleeve
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
'cause he's the one that all my people love to hate
I'm blaming it all on Obamagate
Like I always do

Jesus is embarrassed by your Photo Op
Gassing peaceful protesters until they drop
He said to love your fellow man
Instead you walk right over them
Jesus is embarrassed by your Photo Op
Gassing peaceful protesters to make them stop
And if you feel a hint of shame,
Just say you did it in His name.

Bully in the Bunker

Bully in the Bunker…
Tweeting while America is burning to the ground
Bully in the Bunker…
When the going gets tough, the tough go underground
He’s been a racist ever since he’s been alive
He tried to execute the Central Park Five*
‘cause colored folks have always been the enemy
A black man dying with a knee upon his neck
White House reaction is distraction and deflect
No words of comfort and no sense of empathy
Our fearless leader knows he’s losing control
He keeps on shoveling bullshit as he digs himself a hole
Bully in the Bunker…
Tweeting while America is burning to the ground
Bully in the Bunker…
When the going gets tough, the tough go underground
He’s still connected, we can tell by all the tweets
He wants the military cleaning up the streets
Pay no attention to the man without a clue
Turns on the TV all the cities are in flames
Such nasty people calling him such nasty names
He plays it cool ‘cause Fox and Friends know what to do
See the peaceful protest he’s calling the cops
Mow ‘em down with tear gas for the big photo op
Stand outside the church with a bible in hand
“Love Thy Neighbor” - those are words he can’t understand
Bully in the Bunker…
Tweeting while America is burning to the ground
Bully in the Bunker…
When the going gets tough, the tough go underground

Gettysburg

Got the word Antifa’s gonna burn some flags today
Not on our watch… we’re gonna stick up for the U S A
Gonna learn them Communist kids a thing or two
Gonna learn them how to respect red white and blue
I’ll see you there on the Fourth of July
We’re gonna march on Gettysburg…
The stars and stripes will fly
I’ll see you there on the Fourth of July
We’re gonna march on Gettysburg…
The flag will never die
Yeah we’re gonna be locked and loaded and carrying
Brought shovels in case we need ‘em for burying
Gonna plant the gun in their hand like we rehearsed
Then we can say it was self-defense – they fired first
I’ll see you there on the Fourth of July
We’re gonna march on Gettysburg…
The Stars and Bars will fly
I’ll see you there on the Fourth of July
We’re gonna march on Gettysburg…
The south will never die
Where the rebels made their stand in 1863
With a beer and gun in hand we face the enemy
We made our stand on the Emmitsburg Road
We all came to Gettysburg
Antifa never showed
We made our stand on the Fourth of July
We’ll march out of Gettysburg
And keep our heads held high

Don’t let the science stand in the way
Of putting kids and teachers back in harm’s way
Don’t let the science stand in the way
Our country’s schools must reopen today
Tired parents need a vacation
Children need the socialization
Coronavirus sweeping the nation
Roll the dice on the next generation
Don’t let the science stand in the way
Of putting kids and teachers back in harm’s way
Don’t let the science stand in the way
Our country’s schools must reopen today
Kids and teachers crammed in the same room
Cough or sneeze they’re sharing the same doom
Maybe coronavirus will find them
Maybe their best days are long behind them
Don’t take the science seriously
Just listen to the White House, not CDC
We need to tune out Dr. Fauci
Just listen to the White House, not CDC

Mister Limbo President
02:19
|

|
This is the story of former glory
Angry and bitter he turned to Twitter
The perfect soapbox to reach the boondocks
Convince the white folk life is a sick joke
Well Hey Hey Ho Ho… how much lower can he go?
With Mister Limbo President there is no way to know
Well Ho Ho Hey Hey… how low can he go today?
With Mister Limbo President he’ll always find a way
He let the virus further divide us
“Don’t need a face mask” so said the jackass
The China Virus so bad for business
Time to reopen, or so he’s hoping
Well Hey Hey Ho Ho… how much lower can he go?
With Mister Limbo President there is no way to know
Well Ho Ho Hey Hey… how low can he go today?
With Mister Limbo President he’ll always find a way
He keeps on spinning, pretends he’s winning
Coronavirus? Just look the other way!
Obsessed with Biden, but what’s he hiding
Inside the tax returns he’s too afraid to say
He rates himself ten out of ten
And blames Obama once again
The people start to die
Let’s kiss his ass goodbye

Naked Athena
you should’a seen her
With her face mask and stocking cap
She’s not taking any crap
The Trump experiment to stamp out all dissent
Send the thugs to PDX
Let them do what they do best
Rubber bullets, pepper spray
Tear gas if they run away
Nab a few and cuff their hands
Throw them into unmarked vans
Protestors on the run
Thugs thought their work was done
She entered undetected
The girl they least expected
Naked Athena
you should’a seen her
With her face mask and stocking cap
She’s not taking any crap
No weapons, no clothes… the Federales froze
No reason to shoot a girl in her birthday suit
Kapitan said “Fire Away!”
So they shot the pepper spray
Through the smoke they heard her say
“Peace and Love are here to stay”
Athena wants to see
A world where all are free
To be what they believe
To live and love and breathe…

Dissent has long been an American trait
One of the things that makes America great
But now dissent is coming under attack
By those who only see the white and the black
The great divider must be stopped in his tracks
No better time to take America back
From those who would divide us
For those who walk beside us
Stand tall, stand proud, stand free
Take a stand now, take a knee
America has always been a big melting pot
Your color shouldn't change the odds you'll get shot
Philando [Castille], Alton [Sterling], Tamir [Rice],
Trayvon [Martin], Michael [Brown], and Freddy Gray
Why are their killers always walking away?
Today we honor those who'll never come back
Whose crime was nothing more than "Living While Black"
Their spirit lives inside us
Their memory will guide us
Stand tall, stand proud, stand free
Take a stand now, take a knee
Some people say "respect the flag"
They miss the point and that's a drag
Dissent is what the flag's about
You see injustice? CALL IT OUT!
It isn't black and white
It's one for all
We stand united
Or divided we fall

Backward Christian Soldiers
Standing by for war
Nothing to be proud of
Rotten to the core
Keep their racist master
Safe against the foe
See the bible in his hand
Pretend it’s not for show
Backward Christian Soldiers
Standing by for war
Terrify the voters
Guns at every door
Backward Christian Soldiers
Judgment Day draws near
All ye pro-life voters
Now your angel’s here
Amy Coney Barrett
Holiest handmaid
Casting the deciding vote to
Strike down Roe v Wade
Backward Christian Soldiers
Pray for holy war
Voting for The Donald
Like they did before

Do you remember
"My country 'tis of thee"?
This fear and hatred
Aren't how it has to be
Stand up and fight for
Sweet Lady Liberty
"The huddled masses
All yearning to breathe free"*
A house divided
Can never hope to stand
To reunite it
Just love your fellow man
Cast off your hatred
A waste of energy
Love one another
And let your soul run free...
