about

Trump World. I wrote this in the summer of 2017 in Lake Tahoe. Images from the campaign still playing through my head. If nothing else, this doofus provides some amazing grist.

lyrics

Imagine I just woke up,
In a cloud of gold....
Sycophants sing praise,
Raise me up above.

A thousand voices' noise and signs
All say I'm great.
Don't mistake the news for truth,
There's a dark, deep state.

I'll give you everything you're due
Just like I promised to.

Let's jail Hillarie,
You bet they're wire-tappin' me,
No one left to trust except for me.

The tallest mountains shrinks,
To anthills in my mind.
Racist themes fuel fevered dreams
And then your mine.

Imagination builds a wall
That goes on for miles.
People love ferocious things.
They're all on my side.

I'll give you everything you're due,
Just like I promised to.

Putin to the left of me,
Bannon to right
Big orange blow-hard spoiling for a fight.

Overseas I've family
Building up my shrines.
You're taxes pay their upkeep,
No one seems to mind.

Hounded by a Press
That can't get past the lies.
Saudi kings make better guests
And make me smile.

I'll give you everything you're due
Just like I promised to.

Trumpcare, Ryancare,
Vote against me, don't you dare.
Let's play chicken I don't scare.
