[Intro]
\nLook to our leader
\n(To find a bleeder)
\nBleeding us dry
\n(Hang your head… and cry)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nThe conman is at it again
\nNever as good as it’s been
\nStealing the pennies from a dead man’s eyes
\nWell, really should it come as any surprise<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLook to our leader
\n(To find the bleeder)
\nBleeding us dry
\n(Hang your head… and cry)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBleeding us dry (dry, dry)
\nHang your head… (and cry)
\nCry, cry, cry<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nCan’t help but to lie, cheat, and steal
\nNo, he’s never made a real good deal
\nWhen you look to the man it’s all a scam
\nShake your head, boy, and scram “Damn!”<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLook to our leader
\n(To find a bleeder)
\nBleeding us dry
\n(Hang your head… and cry)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nNeed (to stop the bleed)
\nConcede (stop the bleed)
\nTime to discover
\n(It’s over)
\nSend:
\n(End)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nLook to our leader
\n(To find a bleeder)
\nBleeding us dry
\n(Hang your head… and cry)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBleeding us dry (dry, dry)
\nHang your head… (and cry)
\nCry, cry, cry<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTime to discover
\n(It’s over)
\nSend:
\n(End)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG<\/p>\n

The song “Bleeder”<\/strong> uses raw, visceral imagery to portray the Trump presidency as a parasitic force<\/strong>, one that drains the nation\u2019s resources, truth, and morale<\/strong> while offering nothing of real value in return<\/strong>. The title itself \u2014 “Bleeder”<\/em> \u2014 positions Trump as a predator or leech<\/strong>, slowly “bleeding the country dry.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Verse 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“The conman is at it again… Stealing the pennies from a dead man’s eyes”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This frames Trump as a grifter and opportunist<\/strong>, exploiting every situation for personal gain \u2014 even at the expense of the powerless or the dead. The lyric suggests moral bankruptcy<\/strong>, and notes that this level of exploitation “shouldn’t be a surprise”<\/strong> anymore \u2014 it’s expected behavior<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“Look to our leader \/ To find the bleeder \/ Bleeding us dry \/ Hang your head and cry”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here, the nation\u2019s suffering is traced directly to the top<\/strong>. Trump isn’t just failing to lead<\/strong> \u2014 he’s actively draining the country<\/strong> of integrity, stability, and wealth. The emotional toll is so deep it demands sorrow \u2014 not anger, but despair<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bridge<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“Bleeding us dry… cry, cry, cry”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The repetition reinforces national exhaustion and helplessness<\/strong>. It’s not just financial bleeding \u2014 it\u2019s also spiritual, moral, and institutional<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Verse 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“Can’t help but to lie, cheat, and steal… all a scam”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This verse accuses Trump of having no genuine accomplishments<\/strong>, only fraudulent deals and self-enrichment<\/strong>. The line “shake your head, boy, and scram \u2018Damn!\u2019\u201d<\/em> captures the shock and frustration<\/strong> many feel upon realizing the depth of deceit.<\/p>\n

Bridge 2<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“Need to stop the bleed… concede… it’s over”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is a direct plea for accountability and removal<\/strong>. It could be referencing:<\/p>\n
