the AUTOCRAT BLUES
(Can be sung to the tune of
HONKY TONK WOMEN
by The Rolling Stones)
I met a carpetbagger down from New York
He came to take my country for a ride
Then he went and got himself elected
Now I just can’t seem to get him off my mind
It’s his un-a-gree-a-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
He was a bankrupt builder in Manhattan
Who friended all the oligarchs in town
And took their cash for his condominiums
They saved him one time but may yet bring him down
It’s his un-re-spon-si-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
He’s staffed his D O J to do his bidding
He pillories the free press twice a week
His I R S has ‘lost’ his tax returns
And he’s always throwing change-ups when he tweets
It’s his un-rea-son-a-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
His cabinet’s now ‘acting’ as his yes-men
His republicans attack voting rights
And he hates on Amendment Twenty-Two
To be *resident for life is in his sights
It’s his un-man-age-a-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
It’s his un-re-pent-a-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
It’s his un-im-peach-a-bull manner
Gimme, gimme, gimme the autocrat blues
