LYRICS
When you said “honestly”
Thought you meant for real
Now you have lost me
Scrutinize the deal
Do you think your ranting ‘s
Enchanting?
A rather dumb
Temper tantrum

Surprise
Won’t cover-up lies
Realize
No matter how hard one tries….

When you said “trust me”
Thought you meant for real
Now, will you confide in me
Scrutinize the deal

LYRICS
A fishy fish story
About its tall tail tale
Took a turn toward gory
With words that impale
Exhale
Exalt
Inhale
Doubt fault
(Halt)
Deceit laced with lies
Broken promises
Receipt of “wonder whys”
The hammer kisses
Nailed!
Caught in your own net
A sure bet you’ll regret
Should have cut bait, set sail
Before the storm… now bail!
Piece by peace
The truth we release
Aid the weak and frail
And what it will entail

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?

LYRICS
If the POTUS
To the T
Is missing “we”
Is missing U
Us
I guess…
POS
SOS
POSsssss
(make like a snake)
I understand
United we stand
Divided
We all fall
Butt
After all
If we espouse
The White House
Just another clown
Going to bring us down
Is there any surprise
With such a pack of lies?
Women In White SOTU 2019
And the ladies in white
Wear/where left of right is right
Shine on through the night
Arose to the fight
Say — USA

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the State Of The Union (SOTU) address of February 5, 2019.

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

LYRICS
Are the races
In good graces?
Oh so much strife
In a child’s life
Do the people
Cause a cripple
Oh why the stifle
Of the life-cycle
Wake from slumber
Days are numbered
No matter your “whether”
Come together

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
Am I really
Am I really
Am I really that capable
… that gullible?

Always in fear
Over what I hear?
No! Going to check
Where the fact is at

Going to concede
To all I read?
Always in fear
Over what I fear?

Listing to rumor
Causing brain tumor
No! I will verify
If it’s a lie
