Poem called TRUMP (at least for now)

Last edited Mon Jun 1, 2020, 03:15 AM - Edit history (1)

As you knows, I’ve been working on lyrics and the guys might be able to pull this off, so you will see frequent repetitions. I struggle with repetitions. My point is, if they can’t use it, there are several other places to take it.
So, without any further interruptions, I give you TRUMP...

TRUMP
Skipping through the channels
I stumbled across your face
My chin dropped from disgust
Sick from your disgrace

You think that you’re a leader
self-anointed chosen one
I can’t promise I’ll survive
But I’ll promise I’ll have won

What’s the point? You’re only gonna lie
What’s your agenda? It’s heroic now to die?
I’ll be a hero, if I’d only sacrifice
Says a frightened man who’s never had to pay that price

The point of your whole argument is weak
Full of lies and hatred
But the masses hear you speak.

People who supported you
Are tough to patronize.
The horror of a gory death
Lies fresh in angry eyes

You think that you’re a leader
self-anointed chosen one
I can’t promise I’ll survive this
But I promise that you’re done

What’s the point? You’ll only phone it in.
What’s your agenda? We know your goal’s to spin
I’m not a martyr, not protecting all your ties
Pay the piper. It’s time to pay for lies.

Somehow between here and now
You’ll toss out a brand new scandal.
You’ll say that you expected this
It’s not too much to handle

You claim to be a leader
Sent from God up high
You promise that you’ll solve it all
While those around us die

What’s the point? It’s lie on top of lie.
What’s your agenda? It’s heroic now to die?
I’ll be a hero, if I’d only sacrifice
Says the tiny petty man who won’t have to pay that price.
