A long long time ago
Maybe last year, 'round November
I was riding pretty high
When I was told by CNN
That it was sure, the fix was in
And we would be in charge for quite awhile

But Wednesday morning found me shattered
All of our work, it hadn't mattered
A lot of jaws hung gaping
Seems there is no escaping

I can't remember since that date
If I'd always harbored so much hate
But now I fear it's far too late
The day I lost my mind

Oh, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

Do you know what's going on
How could my hero's be so wrong
The New York Times misled me so
Can you believe this catastrophe
Our fate unfolded on T.V.
And the tears, like rain, began to flow

Well, I know for Sanders, you did yearn
Cause I saw your button, "Feel the Bern"
And though you're free to choose
We made sure Hillary couldn't lose

I was a precious snowflake malcontent
Just emerging from my parents dark basement
Where I never had to pay the rent
The day I lost my mind

I started crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

Now for eight years we'll be on our own
Oh, lost at sea and all alone
At least for now that's how it seems
We said goodbye to our king and queen
As they took off in the "First Marine"
With the promise that he would return

Oh, and what will we do till that day
Will we be nice and learn to play
Protest is all we know
Destruction's what we sow

Our leaders all inspired by Marx
Led demonstrations through the park
We sang spirituals in the dark
The day I lost my mind

We were crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

Russian hackers, WikiLeaker backers
Conspiracy, makes you think we're crackers
Both in mind and tone of skin
We fell hard on our ass
Our champ-i-on had a jaw of glass
While "The Donald" kept reviewing e-mails, past

Now the night time news reeked with despair
A ghastly pall had filled the air
Fireworks set to dance
Oh, but she never got the chance

Because something went wrong with the deal
When Comey turned out to be such a heel
They stuck her good, we heard her squeal
The day I lost my mind

We started crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

Oh, and there we were all in D.C.
A generation of P.C.
With no concept of how to act

So come on grab a pitchfork, grab a sign
Cover your faces, march in line
Shout out profanities until we win

Oh, and as I watched him take the oath
He's not my president, I quote
No meme is too extreme
Oh, revive that Hitler theme

And as I watched my dreams dissolve
With all hope lost and no resolve
My whole world, it ceased to revolve
The day I lost my mind

We were crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

I think a lot about a coup
The kind Madonna wants to do
But frankly I don't have the guts

I sit alone at night and brood
Where I obsess on how we're screwed
And I slowly waste away while going nuts

And when, at last, my throat's worn out
Too sore to muster one more shout
The epithets well spoken
A lot of glass lay broken

A sense of clam is drawing close
A melancholy turns morose
I'll add to all my other woes
The day I lost my mind

And we were crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim

And we were crying, why, why did the polls lie to me
How could something so egregious ever possibly be
The mainstream press had been a comfort, you see
Saying Trump was never in it to win
Told me that his chances were slim
