A walking slab of brain damage beneath a bad toupee And a soul of orange, oozing pus is hereby on this day Inflicted and installed as our alleged president And I guess it makes sense if you're a lobotomy patient Nothing rhymes with orange, and I never should have had to write this song Ain't enough pages and piano keys to play the ways it's wrong He might be some people's president, but to most of us he's not In any office he's still just an orange tweeting twat He got grown-ass men in white cone hats and hoods made out of sheets He's gonna make 'em great again sometime between those tweets We know he likes the Russians, least he hopes they will not snitch Likes his showers gold, that's why he's Putin's little bitch You will not hear me sing his name, let's just say it rhymes with 'dump.' And stump and chump and bump and lump and hump and slump and rump. He's gonna do some damage, it's gonna be a drag He cannot grab my snatch but he can bite my bloody rag

One plus one is two, you'd think on that we could agree And that the sky is blue, and it wouldn't start world war three That the findings of a study, double-blind and peer-reviewed Would combine disparate perspectives and not be misconstrued Information is your friend, facts are not your enemy Someone smart said a long time ago, the truth will set you free And it sucks I even have to say it, that I have to sing and play it We all enjoy results of scientific inquiry There's information all around us, it helps us cooperate From a street sign to a line of code, helps us coordinate Facts can be observable and so can some events Misinformation often leads to harmful incidents Objective truth is a thing Good journalism helps to make us aware Regardless of what we want to see there It doesn't care about our paradigm or concept of what's balanced and fair

I can see the sunset burning at the end of the world, from the end of the continent The final frame of this ill-fated experiment I can hear the future screaming from a five-alarm fire An operatic death of dreaming from a new nightmare choir I'd love to be wrong, for future studies to show I'd just been crazy and no harm had been done But it's already here, and we already know Were it a cruel hoax or just a bad dream We could laugh or wake up or move on You could ridicule me in song And I'd laugh right along That's how much I'd love to be wrong I see four guys on horses, the sky growing dark, I can hear the rattle of chains They ain't coming to help us, their hostages already slain The impending betrayal will come as no surprise We've already seen casualties from false lullabies
