World wakes up, laments the scene he brings
Late night tweets from crazy cook
His fictions writ in gasoline

An old friend says “Give chance and you will see.”
That ship, it sailed off long ago
When Cheeto failed at honesty

I hear rightwing and chorus sings their song
“A better world we’ll give to thee
So drink the kool-aid willingly.”

Now the news, let’s see what Breitbart says
“Dark in color? You’re the bad
And whiteness makes us right and mad.”

Uh oh, uh uh oh oh

The pulpits ring, “God’s word will light his way.”
Now heaven laughs at righteous ones
“Those humans screwed the pooch today.”

And in the swamp the orange man earns his keep
He hires folks with dark affairs
All crocodiles and zillionaires

Uh oh, uh uh oh oh

His mouthpiece says, “The truth is what we speak
It doesn’t matter what we say
Our minions eat it everyday.”

We see the shades of what has gone before
A pompous hero neatly dressed
With slime inside his tailored vest

Don’t be downhearted, baby
Don’t be downhearted, baby
Better days ahead, they say
Better days ahead, I pray…
