LYRICS
Make America great
For the first time
Sick-and-tired tirade
On political crime
Ring the corrupt out
Scream and shout
Ring the corrupt
Wring the corrupt
Wring out
Ring out
Obstruction of “obstruction of justice”
This is a thesis
Of feces
Free to fail
Never go to jail?
This train…
Has gone off the rail

LYRICS
Is that your nose that grows,
Pinocchio
More lies than thumbs in pies,
Little Jack Horner
Humanity’s mourner
Hate’s fate
Around the corner
Follow the leader’s lead
Nations will bleed
Freedom’s fiefdom dumb
Never the learner
Chief commander of grief
Your President
Delusional and collusional
You represent
Fantastic plastic from sea to sea
(Shining see to shining see)
Our legacy
Less Redwood Forest… Rocky Mountain tragedy (travesty)
Our history

LYRICS
Caped crusader
Man of steel
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
The crime of the century
Maybe all of history
A vast conspiracy
In need of repeal
What’s the deal
… the real deal?

To whom do you cater
Where’s your corporate seal
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

No heroes till later?
Wait for the feel?
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

LYRICS
Approaching some sort-of Danger Zone
Searching for some sort-of safe place
Escaping from “gone mad” human race
… guess I’m not alone
Gone amiss in their crisises [sic]
Quite a mess.
A total miss.
Can’t you see
The emergency?

No more emperor
Sitting on his seat
While women and children
Are living on the street
No more president
Trying to represent
Skepticism through racism

LYRICS
I’m led to believe
You’ve been misled
Alive or dead?
Deep down inside
Shed that pride
It’s all hypocrisy
Covering inadequacy

I believe your brain
Borders insane
Numb or dumb?
Deep down inside
Shed that pride
It’s all hypocrisy
Covering inadequacy

We can do better
Forgive the debtor
As they forgive us
Plus
We’ll do unto them
As we wish them
To do to us
The rub of love

LYRICS
Down and dirty
In the nitty gritty
The absurdity
Of popularity
Giving pity
To the oh so petty
Getting ready
To diversify
Going to try

The acidity
Of their reality
In the country
In the city
Steadfast policy
Of hypocrisy
A democracy
In conspiracy
Really more tyranny
Lacking transparency
We’re about to kick ’em out

LYRICS
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
Know what I mean
No vaccine
Race relations
On vacation
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
People thinkin’ KKK’s OK
Political winkin’ “Another day”
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
A president that advocates hate
Tainted with Christianity insanity
Feeling a little too much like Groundhog Day
Geeze, wouldn’t you say
We’ve found a better way?

And the ladies in white
Wear/where left of right is right
Shine on through the night
Arose to the fight

LYRICS
Best old friends
Get forgotten
If the old friends
Have been turning rotten
I’m thinking
It’s time to move along
Start shrinking
All that’s gone wrong

I see hate and bigotry
Will never get the best of me
I’m thinking
It’s time to move along
Start shrinking
All that’s gone wrong

Understand
North of the Rio Grande
If there’s a kind man
That walks the land
Here! Hear!
It’s time to hear
Dismissing of all you fear
Wake up
And make a stand
Rise Up
And make it clear

Are the races

Oh so much strife

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the 10,000 missing migrant children held captive by the Trump administration.

Immigrant advocates said they are suing the U.S. government, claiming it is detaining immigrant children too long and improperly refusing to release them to relatives. A federal lawsuit filed last year in Alexandria, Virginia, was expanded on to propose including the cases of more than 10,000 children.

LYRICS
If I were to breakdown
And confess
Why, yes, it is a mess
Government spent more than lent
President inspires the “hellbent”
With ignorance that won’t relent
Used. Abused. Spent.

Commander and chief is a thief
Stole the value outta me n’ you
Divide the herd by the color of hide
Deep, dark and empty inside

Bureaucrat. Aristocrat. Hypocrite.
The bull’s eye… you hit it
King on the wall needs to fall
Tumblin’ down… broken crown

bookmark_borderBad Hombres

LYRICS
Yo, “bad hombres”
Do you know
The way
Yo, “bad hombres”,
what do you say,
can you tell me the way?

“They go right to the easiest part and the weakest part,
sometimes out in desert.
… they drive out into the desert,
and they come on,
they make a left turn.
….. very important”

They make a right turn going very quickly,
they go into the desert areas or whatever areas you can look at,
and as soon as there’s no protection,
they make a left or a right into the United States of America.
There’s nobody to catch ‘em, there’s nobody to find ‘em.
They can’t come through the port,
because if they come through the port,
people will see: four women!
Sitting in a van! With tape around their face”
—again, he gestured to his own face—
“and around their mouth. Can’t have that.”
