I had an awful dream
It couldn't happen here
I wanted to believe
That love could conquer fear
Today they crown the king
They're lining up to kiss his ring
What's "great" for him might
not be good for you and me
This is the ultimate
Reality TV
With everybody watching

The Emperor
01:52
|

The Emperor has no clothes
The Emperor has an endless nose
The Emperor tells no lies
Alternative facts are his disguise
The Emperor thinks it's all about him
The Emperor has a thin thin skin
So don't you dare say anything about The Emperor
The Emperor shall be heard
The Emperor tweets more than any bird
The Emperor can't be caught
The Emperor wants what he hasn't got
The Emperor thinks it's all about him
The Emperor has a thin thin skin
So don't you dare say anything about The Emperor
The Emperor really fooled us all
He burns his bridges while building his walls
So don't say anything all about The Emperor
The Emperor wants to start a war
We've seen these bully boys before..

Lyin' King

You can lie
Such a liar
Claiming the world is on fire
See the clown
Watch him sing
Diggin' the Lyin' King
Friday night and the crowd's alive
Back again with the same old jive
Firing up the right wingnuts
Getting in the swing
Here comes the Lyin' King
Anybody could see that guy
Caught himself in another lie
Life is perfect in Sweden
There was no attack
They got their meatballs back
Maybe he's smoking crack
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
Claiming the world is on fire
See the clown
Watch him sing
Diggin' the Lyin' King
You're a teaser you scream and shout
Chew them up and then spit them out
Dreaming up a new whopper
Anything will do
Nothing you say is true
Sunday night on the Twitter feed...
Misdirection is what you need
Wiretapping sounds crazy
But you double down
Welcome to Crazy Town
Run by an orange clown...

Orange is the color of my true love's hair
Trump is in the White House 'cause I put him there
First he's getting rid of that ObamaCare
There goes my insurance but I just don't care
In every way he says the things I want to say
He hates the Muslims and the gays
He's gonna make them go away
And that will be a blessed day
Orange is the color of my true love's hair
Russia may have interfered but I don't care
America is great again 'cause Trump's in charge
We keep living hand to mouth while he lives large
But that's OK...
He's gonna kill the EPA
So we can frack and drill away
Roll back the clock to yesterday
"Clean air and water" so passe
Orange is the color of my true love's hair
So he wants to date his daughter I don't care
Trump is such a stud he's such a manly man
Grabs 'em by the pussy 'cause he thinks he can
Oh lucky day, the angry white men have their say
Obama never took their guns away
So now they shoot them in the sky
And tell the world that Trump's their guy
He'd never ever tell a lie
We never ever question why
We stand and cheer when he goes by
The kids will sing, the flags will fly
God Bless America the great
We're gonna live in fear and hate
We're gonna build a mighty wall
Carved out of gold ten stories tall
He struck a chord, he hit a nerve
The schoolyard bully we deserve
Let's party with the KKK
The racists never went away

Grizzly Girl
She’s got a gun, so there’s no need to run from my
Grizzly Girl
When school is done, we’ll have some grisly fun
My early years were just a total waste
I never caught up to the things I chased
But when I saw you there I got a taste
of how my life would turn around
When school was faith-based
Grizzly Girl
She talks to God so go and give her the nod
Grizzly Girl
When school is done, we’ll go to Kingdom Come
Sign me up for your Religious Right
Show me the magic of a holy night
Hey Hallelujah! Something isn’t right
You’re just a deer that’s blinded by the headlights
Grizzly Girl
She’s got a gun so there’s no need to run from my
Grizzly Girl
She’ll pray for you
She hasn’t got a clue
But/what she’ll do
Looks like you made it to the party late
We’re gonna sew together church and state
We’re gonna teach & preach a brand new hate
Look at all the kids we’re gonna segregate
Throw that evolution in the garbage bin
Burn the science books so we can start again
We're going teach you ‘bout Original Sin
We got the worms to crawl inside your skin
Fight and Pray, Night and Day, do it again
Come on Voucher Mama we can call it a win
Here comes Little Mikey with a shit-eating grin
Now that it's over we can all say
AMEN

Scalia's not yet in the ground
When the order from McConnell comes down
"This is Obama's final year,
Let's stick together boys the end is near"
McConnell knew he'd have to stall
He claimed the public got to make the call
And so the GOP held firm
In the twilight of Obama's term
They would not entertain his choice
They're sick of listening to a black man's voice
Hung Merrick Garland out to dry
Just because he was Obama's guy
It was obstruction at its best
Mitch McConnell passed the douchebag test
The 1% puts up a fight
They want the Court to keep on tilting right
So they went looking for a tool
Gorsuch played by all the corporate rules
They saw the "frozen trucker" case
They lost but Gorsuch was a friendly face
They knew right then they'd found their man:
The prototypical Republican
During the hearings Neil lost face
When the Supremes shot down a Gorsuch case
The votes weren't there, McConnell knew
He nuked the Senate like he said he'd do
So Gorsuch dons the famous robes
Maybe he'll help to sink the Russian probe
And so McConnell saved the day
By redefining the American Way
The 1% just won again
They keep on ruling us common men
They say that karma is a bitch
When will it ever bite the super rich?
Raise your glass with all the wealthy men
Mitch McConnell saved the day again
Let's toast the zombie with the triple chin
Mitch McConnell saved the day again
Made up the rulebook as he went along
Mitch McConnell could do no wrong
Supreme inJustice with a hint of taint
Mitch McConnell is your patron saint
Some call it theft, some call it dirty tricks
Saint McConnell calls it politics...
(some democracy... more like hypocrisy)

Poor little Mikey
Down in the dumps
He hit the jackpot by
Sucking off Trump
Dreaming of impeachment,
Now THAT would be grand
Don't pretend you didn't have
The whole thing planned
We see your stupid grin
and we know where you've been boy...
Hey Little Mikey
Whatcha gonna do
Planned Parenthood's
Not afraid of you
Neither are the gays
And neither are we
Mikey's always been
The Real Enemy
He’s a Hoosier Homophobe
A Ladies' Man
Legislate her body
every way that he can
Religious Right Wingnut
Lusting for fame
You slimy cult leaders
all look the same
Now you're no dummy, honey
And no one thinks it's funny
Hey Little Mikey
Whatcha gonna say
Planned Parenthood's
Not going away
Neither are the gays
And neither are we
Mikey's always been
The Real Enemy

Booed in Berlin

Sticking up for Dad again
Saying he's a champion
Such a perfect mannequin
Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin
She's in it for the money
Anybody can see
The rotten apple didn't fall
Far from the tree
A grifter like her Daddy taught her how to be
(Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin)
She makes a pretty penny from her clothing brand
Selling glamour at a profit in the motherland
Manufactured overseas by tiny foreign hands
(Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin)
Sticking up for Dad again
Calling him a champion
Hoping he won't GROPE again
Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin
She's proven quite adept at cashing in on fame
She knows the hoops and hurdles of the marketing game
To avoid the Trump stigma she just changes the name
(Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin)
Now Alex Jones is chewing up the scenery
He says Ivanka's turning into Hillary
All because she mentioned Syrian refugees
(Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin)
She's got a taste for living large
Jared knows that she's in charge
She's always been a Daddy's girl
And now she's out to rule the world
She tried to fake the empathy
She wasn't fooling Germany
She doesn't need your sympathy
She still has her dignity
Sticking up for Dad again
Saying he's a champion
Nobody falling for the spin
Poor Ivanka booed in Berlin

The Trump brand name,
My claim to fame
'cause you saw me
On your TV
The GOP
(is) afraid of me
It's them I thank
for my brand new bank
Conflict of interest
I couldn't care less
And take a wild guess
Who'll clean up my mess?
The Sturm und Drang
My foolproof plan
First Syria
And next Pyongyang
You poor sad fools
I make the rules
The cash rolls in
I always win
I'm acting presidential
You're acting deferential
Yesterday you denigrate me
Now you line up to fellate me
The lefty losers hate me
Because I'm winning bigly
Greatest man in history
I'm gonna bring you World War Three...

Death Tattoo

We will remember this
A pox on all of you
Who gave his ass a kiss
You wear a death tattoo
You earned your badge of shame
A dollar sign beside your name
We will remember you
Enjoy your death tattoo
Finally the votes were there
Freedom from Obamacare
Come on boys, break out the beer
It only took you seven years
Freedom from the tyranny
Farewell to human decency
Freedom to get sick and die
Your congressman would never lie
You think that we can’t see
The hole where your heart should be
We shall remember you
By the glow of your death tattoo
Millions will get sick and die
Billions to the wealthy guys
The middle class, the welfare crowd
They’ll all be covered with a shroud
It looks quite nice on you
That little bloody death tattoo
It suits you oh-so-well
Enjoy it while you burn in Hell…

So now it's US against the world
The Stars and Stripes can be unfurled
We'll fly them high above the Earth
for what little they may be worth
From sea to rising sea...
Au Revoir, Paris
This "climate change" is just a hoax
Invented by some crazy folks
They say the planet's getting hot
And it's the only one we've got
But Mr. Trump does not agree...

A game of chicken with two crazy men
Don't want to know how this might end
Neither cares what the other thinks
Who's gonna be the first to blink?
Another missile flying high
A game of chicken in the sky
Tell everyone you love goodbye
Today could be your day to die
Another missile flying high
A game of chicken in the sky
The military standing by
He's got the nukes, he's gonna let 'em fly
The Orange Clown is tweeting out the same old crap
He wants to blow North Korea off the map
They come by air by land by sea
Say hello to WWW III
Polish the guns sharpen up the knives
Nobody's getting out of this alive...

Well I wish I weren’t in the Land of Cotton
Where the Days of Slaves are not forgotten
And the racists say those days were great
But the rest of us see through the hate
Got the monuments, got the Stars and Bars
Flying ten feet high on their jacked-up cars
Call it southern pride, call it what you will
Turn the clock way back to a time to kill
Look away… Dixieland
Run away… Dixieland
It was long away but we won’t forget
How they used Jim Crow as a safety net
And the thin redline’s still used today
Like the thick brown rope by the KKK
Now the trolls line up for their money shot
Now they pride themselves on their moral rot
Now the tempers flare and the body drop
When the violence starts, it’ll never stop
Look away… Dixieland
Run away… Dixieland
The racists never went away
The Civil War is here to stay
Well I wish I weren’t in the Land of Cotton
Where the Days of Slaves are not forgotten
Look away
Look away
Look away
Look away

Maria's gaining force
Don Juan is on the golf course
The island's getting hit
Don Juan don't give a shit
He hasn't said a word
As if he hasn't even heard
The mayor's desperate pleas
Don Juan says "on your knees!"
From San Juan to Don Juan
"What is taking so long?"
Said San Juan to Don Juan
Soon the island will be gone
Said Don Juan to San Juan
"Why must you babble on?"
Said Don Juan to San Juan
"Island life goes on"
At last he makes the trip
He grabs the mic and let it rip
He says that all is well
The budget's shot to hell
He looks around and scowls
Then tosses out the paper towels
"At last the coast is clear...
I'm getting outta here"
It's Don Juan in San Juan
Looking like a moron
When Don Juan left San Juan
They're glad to see him gone
The island lies in shreds
There's sewage in the watersheds
The infrastructure's gone
And so is old Don Juan
The island is a mess
Don Juan insists he did his best
No way to carry on
No thanks to old Don Juan
He rates himself ten out of ten
And blames the mayor once again
The people start to die
Don Juan just says bye bye

Take A Knee
02:52

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

Bona fide barbarian
A wannabe authoritarian
Short-Fingered Vulgarian
He's always been a little crass
He slapped the doctor on the ass
In second grade he made his case
He punched his teacher in the face
He's always been a special boy
'Cause being bad would bring him joy
He’s always been a ladies’ man
He grabs ‘em there because he can
Short-Fingered Vulgarian
Proud to be an Aryan
A wannabe authoritarian
Short-Fingered Vulgarian
He's gotta wear those special gloves
The kind that only mothers love
Keep little fingers toasty warm
Through the roughest Twitter storm
Now and then he'll lose his shit
And throw a man-sized hissy fit
His fingers may not be that long
They're still enough to launch the bombs
Short-Fingered Vulgarian
Bona fide barbarian
A wannabe authoritarian
Short-Fingered Vulgarian

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy Weather
Since that man and I
Slept together
He's lyin' all the time
Gotta say
Making love was just OK
I've had better
He said we're perfect together
Must have been out of my mind, my mind
So glad that he's not mine
First he said hello and
I felt oh-so-lucky
Afterwards he left me
Feeling oh-so-yucky
So ashamed I prayed the Lord above would let me
Feel like myself once more
He asked when
Could he see me again?
I said "never"
He warned me not to get
Too clever
I said "tomorrow's fine"
I walked around in my
Own private hell
He was afraid of the
Stories I'd tell
Paid for my silence through a
New LLC
This lyin' and cheatin' denying deceiving is
Killin’ me
Life goes on
Now I sing this song
Stormy Weather
Secrets don't stay secret
Forever
He's lyin' all the time
Keeps lyin' all the time
He's lyin' all the time
But now revenge is mine

Stealing from the poor
Knock them down some more
Got to feed the rich
The classic bait-and-switch
Tease the middle class
Then knock them on their ass
A couple dollars more
Then kick them to the floor
Now it's plain to see
The greedy GOP
Working for the 1%
And not for you and me
Happy CEOs
That's where the money goes
It never trickles down
God Bless The Orange Clown
They're not finished yet
They'll cut the safety net
Kiss Medicare goodbye
You'll work until you die
The cookies go to
the CEOs and
all we get are crumbs
It's plain to see
the GOP must
think we're pretty dumb
a trillion dollar deficit
the GOP don't give a shit

Let's Have A Parade
With the tanks and the ranks of enlisted
'Cause his delicate psyche is twisted
'Cause he's drooling to rule iron-fisted
Let's Have A Parade
'Cause the king needs a thing for his ego
Show the world that he's some kind of hero
But he's only a modern day Nero
Get the boots on the ground
Get the people to cheer
Don't you send in the Clown
Cause he's already here
Let's Have A Parade
Have the women get ready for groping
‘Cause you don’t want to see the king moping
Ask Melania how she's been coping
Show the French how it's done
USA #1
Make them bow down to you
Like the dictators do
Let's Have A Parade
Don't let anyone dare to avoid it
Flush the taxpayer cash down the toilet
Shoot the losers who show up to spoil it
Let's Have A Parade
Let's Have A Parade
Make America Great
Make America Hate
Half a century too late
Let's Have A Parade!

Look into his eyes
Windows to the soul
Comes as no surprise
There's just an empty hole
Nasty little Tweets
Spewing out more shit
How much do we have to eat
Until we're sick of it?
POX AMERICANA
Stare into the void
Fall in the abyss
So much to be destroyed
So little shall be missed
Turning up the heat
Fan the flames of fear
Think Germany in '33
And watch it happen here
POX AMERICANA
America, America,
Oh God what have we done?
An angry voice, an awful choice
Our downfall has begun
We're living through this ugly dream
Asleep with open eyes
You will be free if you can see
The truth behind the lies

You wish that they’d forget
How much you loved the tasty bait
The Kremlin set
Donald thinks the president is like a king
Donald thinks that he’s in charge of everything
Donald thinks that the president’s above the law
Donald has a motto: “L’Etat c’est moi”
Nyet, Donald, Nyet
The stage is being set
Robert Mueller’s gonna catch you
In his net
Sad, Donald, Sad
The Facebook ads
The evidence is mounting
And the news is bad
Donald knows the truth about the money trail
Donald knows the proof would send him straight to jail
Donald knows that Robert Mueller’s closing in
Now’s the time for all good men to save their skin
Nyet, Donald, Nyet
The trap is being set
The king is getting paranoid
Now watch him sweat

They cannot wait
They mean no harm
No need to fear or hate
No reason for alarm
They have no choice
They have no home
They hear the angry voice
And still they have to roam
They seek the promised land
The human caravan
To love your fellow man,
Embrace the caravan
A caravan of human souls
United with a simple goal:
Survive...
Just stay alive...
They are the poor
In search of more
Greet them with open arms
Instead of open war
This isn't new
For me and you
We are all immigrants
Our parents came here too
There is no evil plan
The human caravan
The family of man
Embrace the caravan
A caravan of human souls
United with a simple goal:
Survive...
Just stay alive...

You're drifting off again
And waking up in Hell
It looks the same today
It's getting hard to tell
'cause now he's way up high
and you're still trapped down there
He'll always be your guy
Just don't pretend he cares
Don't be deceived you've gotta D T T
You'd best believe you've gotta D T T
Get off your knees you've gotta D T T
Stop World War Three c'mon and D T T
You wanted someone new
Who really felt for you
He pushed your buttons so you pushed his...
Both of your dreams came true
This isn't how you planned
It's getting out of hand
With branches falling left and right...
A tree can barely stand.
Don't be deceived you've gotta D T T
You'd best believe you've gotta D T T
Get off your knees you've gotta D T T
Stop World War Three c'mon and D T T
He's got so much to say
In his repulsive way
He uses social media
Twenty-four hours a day
He says he rules with heart
The families ripped apart
Remember Nazi Germany
This is the way it starts
The border's tough today
The children snatched away
Another lie to justify
The Donald's evil way
Open your eyes you've gotta D T T
Get past the lies you've gotta D T T
Hate's on the rise you've gotta D T T
Freedom will die unless you D T T
He had a brilliant plan:
The Muslim travel ban
"An evil race" he told his base,
The paranoid white man
He says the news is fake
He's gonna make you break
He made you think he cared for you...
That was your first mistake
He's got a sick world view
He's feeding it to you
Repeat the lie a thousand times
Until you know it's true
We're going down, we need to DTT
He's tightly wound, we need to DTT
Don't fuck around, it's time to DTT
Impeach the clown, c'mon and DTT
----------------------
If you're not angry,
then you're not paying attention
Are we all trapped in
Some crazy fifth dimension?
Just ask the KKK
They say he's heavensent
The white supremacists
adore their racist president
And look who's next in line...
Mikey the misogynist!
He'd like "The Handmaid's Tale"
to be the way we coexist
They paid off [Anthony] Kennedy
They think they've got it made
Another right-wing robe
For getting rid of Roe v Wade.
Unions are going down
To bring back slavery
But now it's more polite
It's called "the service industry"
When women's rights are gone
That's when the world goes mad
Pro-life can help the wife
Hello to Nation Gilead
The gays have had their fun
They'll find the rainbow's end
There'll be no pot of gold
Inside the closet once again.
Hey you conservatives...
Aren't you a bit ashamed
To have a president
Who's always calling people names?
He has another title:
SEXUAL PREDATOR
If you have a daughter,
Would you dare leave him alone with her?
Hey you deplorables
And all you common folk:
Now do you ask yourselves
Is this some kind of joke?
Maybe you're unemployed
You loved his carny act
He said he'd be your voice
Your jobs aren't coming back
He talked a great game
He really pulled you in
Oh you little fishes
Trapped on the line again
That brand new tax bill
It's for the wealthy set
They call it "trickle-down"
While pissing on your safety net
Want to live the American Dream
But you don't know how?
Not in the 1%?
You'll never get there now.
The fellows at the top
They watch each others' backs
First it was "Drain The Swamp"
Now it's Government Goldman Sachs
He's got a brand new deal
The Second Gilded Age
The barons reap the wealth while
We'll live on a pauper's wage
The king is in the White House
The belly of the beast
The fox is in the henhouse
It should be quite the feast
Why would somebody
Conceal their tax return?
To keep a secret,
Not just how much they earn,
But where it comes from
Follow the money trail
He's in the Oval Office
But he should be in jail
Straight from Mar-a-Lago
to the county jail
----------------------
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"*
All yearning to be free
