lyrics

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
