Trumped
He ain’t nothing like you’ve ever seen,
the truth may cut deep but it always cuts clean,
he was always the boy that was likely to win,
he ain’t nothing like you’ve ever seen.
All of his friends make me nervous
all of his friends have that sinister grin
All of his friends wave their guns in your face
And all of them stinking of gin.
Our politics used to be civil
The art of the argument logically made
But he has no patience for reason or fact
It’s all a religious crusade.
He’s an ideological pin-head
He gave up on using his God-given brain
A lemming that can’t wait to jump in the sea
always looking for someone to blame
And to him I’m a socialist commie
but bathing in stupid is no way to go
It’s abundantly clear he’s a cheap sloganeer
I passed boredom bout three days ago
These Tea Party folks are all crazy
It’s back to the future for once and for all
and life was so great back in 1908
that’s the last time the Cubs won it all
And momma would stay in the kitchen
And daddy was always out back choppin’ wood
All of your neighbors were white as could be
ain’t no black face in this neighborhood
He don’t need no government programs
yeah, just cutting taxes is always the best
Some people are dying or living in cars
while some are impeccably dressed.
He don’t give a damn about justice
he’s holding a doctrine of winner take all
So try and hold onto whatever you have
cause life is just one barroom brawl
And to him that’s what makes life worth living
anything less is a stab in the back
There’s never a reason for reasoned debate
It’s all just a verbal attack
You know, knowing your right isn’t easy
it takes all your energy staying so strong
But God made you fallible down to the core
and God knows you just might be wrong.
He ain’t nothing like you’ve ever seen
the truth may cut deep but it always cuts clean
He was always the boy who was likely to win
he ain’t nothing like you’ve ever seen.
