THE IMPEACHMENT RAG

He’ll tell you a lie, then he’ll tell it again.
If you buy that, he’ll tell you ten.
He’s bigger than OJ and OJ got off.
Trumpers just turn their heads and cough.
List of crimes is long.
Case for impeachment is strong.
He’s got a Senate jury and they’re mostly all white.
He’s got a Senate jury and they’re mostly far right.
He purses his lips, swivels his hips,
not light on his feet, but quick with a tweet.
He hates Kaepernick and loves dictators.
He’s already one of the great red-baiters...

THE IMPEACHMENT RAG

He’ll tell you a lie, then he’ll tell it again.
If you buy that, he’ll tell you ten.
He’s bigger than OJ and OJ got off.
Trumpers just turn their heads and cough.
List of crimes is long.
Case for impeachment is strong.
He’s got a Senate jury and they’re mostly all white.
He’s got a Senate jury and they’re mostly far right.
He purses his lips, swivels his hips,
not light on his feet, but quick with a tweet.
He hates Kaepernick and loves dictators.
He’s already one of the great red-baiters
even though he’s in the pocket
of the KGB
in the pocket
of Erdogan Putin and Kim
Erdogan Putin and Kim.

A scam a hoax a real disgrace, he made a perfect call.
Seal the border and seal your mind, he builds his perfect wall.
Lies and smears and bigotry and hate, this election’s in the bag.
Witch hunt scum never-Trumper, doin’ the impeachment rag.

Keeps getting worse, how far can he go?
Emoluments and quid pro quo:
Latin
for I want you to do me a favor though.
Like a rock star he controls the crowd.
He throws them meat and they howl out loud.
To fight his fears he tosses his smears
and each one describes him:
corrupt
lying
unconstitutional
vindictive
preposterous
dangerous
hates the Constitution
hates America
CRAZY.
They’re putting lead in our babies’ heads.
White boys shoot up crowds.
Police shoot holes in our clouds.
White boys shoot up schools.
Rich men break all the rules.
Trump takes us all for fools.
Everything he does is about the Benjamins,
rapes the earth to help his friendjamins.

A scam a hoax a real disgrace, he made a perfect call.
Seal the border and seal your mind, he builds his perfect wall.
Lies and smears and bigotry and hate, this election’s in the bag.
Witch hunt scum never-Trumper, doin’ the impeachment rag.

Elections are coming and the jury is us.
We’ll nullify the Senate plus
we’re tired of this white wing
uptight wing
night wing
right wing
Republican bullshit.
Jim Jordan lies like the president
protecting America
like he protected Ohio State’s athletes.
It’s never rape
if it’s rich white men
(like Strauss)
(like Epstein)
(like Trump).
Trump is the rump and we’ve got to kick it.
America’s bad side isn’t the ticket to good
forget great
especially if your currency
is creating hate.

Truth respect tolerance and love, everyone’s welcome on this bus.
Equal justice and equal rights, next time the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.

This stuff is nothing new.
We know he doesn’t like you
and he doesn’t like me
and we’re never gonna make him see.
He and his psycho sycophants
can go off on their twitter rants
evil in so many ways
they denigrate and hector
and bring up Stalin’s spectre.
We know he doesn’t want us
but this is our home
and he’s just a garden gnome.
Trump is the rump and we’ve got to kick it.
Lump his rump with his mouth
the dump he pumps from it.

Truth respect tolerance and love, everyone’s welcome on this bus.
Equal justice and equal rights, next time the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.

During the Revolution
conservatives were Tories.
Not patriots, they had different mores
They’d still rather have a king.
A Trump monarchy’s just the thing
to keep the poor in their place
not to mention workers.
They say he was chosen
but the people he’s hosin’.
He thinks he’s golden.
He’s a factless freak
making America weak.
Trump is the rump and we’ve got to kick it
and all the rumps for Trump
in the House
and the Senate.
Got to dump Trump and all the Trumpettes
‘cause Trump is the rump and we’ve got to kick it.

Truth respect tolerance and love, everyone’s welcome on this bus.
Equal justice and equal rights, next time the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.
Elections are coming and the jury is us.

Elections are coming and the jury is us.
