about

This is a song about repugnance.

Trump has no wit. No empathy. No humour. No class. His arsenal contains only hatred, misogyny, ridicule and mockery. He is a sociopath. A narcissist. A hazard to the planet.

He has no interest in anything but himself. No sacrifice by others will be enough until he reaches his egocentric goals. He both hates and is terrified of women. He is toxic masculinity embodied.

lyrics

God bless America
GOD BLESS THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT
God bless the NRA
God bless my osteophytes
God bless good guys with better guns
God bless GOP gentlemen
GOD BLESS JANUARY 6TH AGAIN
And God bless me, and me and mine.
Amen

Touring courts is my campaign
Make America Great Again
BUY NEVER SURRENDER HIGH-TOP SNEAKERS
Wear the American Dream
I’M STABLE, SMART AND INNOCENT,
A GENIUS, LEGITIMATE
Buy my Victory 47 Scent
‘Cos I’m phenomenal with women

I’m the Leader of the Free World
So, Free World, you’d better watch out for me

All the negative polls are fake news, fake news
CNN and ABC in this election
PEOPLE WANT SECURITY
AND VICIOUS, BRUTAL BORDER VETTING
A credible source has called my office.
Told me that his birth’s a fraud
I never mocked Kovaleski
Never grinned and flapped at all
NEVER SAID I GRABBED A PUSSY
Women are a free-for-all
Never sprang for Stormy Daniels
Never told a lie at all

It’s a scary time for men here in America
Women are doing great
DENY, DENY, DENY
AND PUSH BACK ON THESE WOMEN
If I get my way we’ll have the backing of the state
There should be penance for abortion
THERE HAS TO BE SOME FORM OF PUNISHMENT.
For the woman, not the man…
After all he’s just the management
