[Intro]
Round and round the stories go
What he’ll do, we never know
Pumpkin head upon the throne
Smashing things he doesn’t own!
[Verse 1]
Promises piled up to the sky
Ask him why and hear him lie
Every deal’s a private score
Who’s gonna pay for this encore?
Cut the funds and raise the price
Sell us trouble, call it nice
Shake the tree and take the fruit
Then blame the people at the root!
[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)
Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)
[Verse 2]
Look at all the bills we pay
While the grifters get their way
Working folks are stretched too thin
Who’s outside and who’s cashin’ in?
Rules for you and rules for me
Different rules for royalty
Tell us all we’re doin’ fine
While they help themselves to mine!
[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)
Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)
[Bridge]
Gourd’s got a hole
(Where’d go the soul?)
Seeds on the floor
(What’s he takin’ us for?)
Big orange grin
(Where do we begin?)
Round as can be
(But who’s gettin’ free?)
The louder the boast
(The more we all roast)
The bigger the show
(The less we really know!)
[Verse 3]
Count the cost and check the score
Ask who’s richer than before
When the truth comes knocking loud
Can he fool the whole darn crowd?
[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)
Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)
Gourd! (Gourd!) Out of his gourd!
Who’s gonna foot the bill?
Gourd! (Gourd!) Out of his gourd!
Who’s got the power still?
[Final Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)
Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)
Is he out of his gourd
(Or is this by design?)
Who’s keepin’ the score
(While we’re payin’ the fine?)
Robbin’ us blind
(It’s a hell of a grind)
Far, far from kind
(What a mean obscene scene!)
[Outro]
Round and round the stories go
Seeds of truth are all we sow
When the bills come due at last
Who’s gonna answer for the past?
Out of his gourd!
(Out of control!)
Out of his gourd!
(Definition of troll)
[Final Hit]
