New Rhetoric – Trumped lyrics

Verses A1 & A 2
The socialists were beaten down
The GOP rebuked
The Democrats (liberals) were all reviled
Conservatives confused

And Hillary she wears a frown
On her popular victory chewed and choked
Choked up by a media beguiled
And a man pompous, rude, and shrewd
….and they were all beaten by

Chorus
Trump with all his rhetoric fiction
(You can’t) Trump the state we’re in
Trump is a contradiction
Trump is a political sin

Bridge
Stark defiance, Russian alliance
Health care, taxes, imports nixed
Targets laid, don’t be afraid
Mexicans, Muslims, the Pope who’s next?

Verses A3 & A4
So who are we to question
Our electoral system long ago was rigged
By Founding Fathers, who disagreed
Owned slaves were hypocrites

And yet I feel sense of pride
Our system’s still the best
It’s full of warts, imperfect, flawed
But better than the rest

Verse B1
They weren’t perfect, neither we,
Nor Donald, Bernie, Hillary
In the chains of history
As Lin Miranda reminded us so
The dues our Fathers paid
It’s never fun to really know
How the sausage is made

Chorus
Trump with all his rhetoric fiction
Can’t Trump the state we’re in
Trump is a national addiction
Trump now decides political sin

(Acoustic Guitar Instrumental)

Bridge
Economic engine fuel
Businessman with prowess
Keep our jobs safe, make a new face
Is he brilliant or just callous

Traitors, bigots come on let’s rig it
In (with) our favorite phallus
Are we under attack by a megalomaniac
Is it brilliance, avarice or malice

Verses A6 & A7
And now who’s protecting America
Does he stand alone bemused
He’ll make America great again
Why’s the public so confused

Perhaps it’s how he equivocates
In everything we’ve heard
Upset when called on to explain
His quoted spoken word

Bridge
Stark defiance, Putin alliance
Wiki leaks “intelligence“ fixed
Build a wall…Fuuu-bleep them all
CIA and Congress nixed

So much phoniness …acrimonious
Accusations fly amuck
A new story’s feigned, but the facts don’t change
Are the charges true or all Trumped up
At his cabinet picks, the media’s throwing sticks

Chorus
Trump with all his rhetoric fiction
(You can’t) Trump him, you must give him chance
Donald Trump perhaps is prescient
Mr. Trump is our President

Verses A8 & V9
So here’s a man who builds his brand
In the world by being funny, not with facts
He says he loves all people, big and small,
And the Jews can count my money, not the blacks

He gropes at women but there are those
That love him just the same
Who really knows, are we in the throes of the
Idolization of his name

Chorus
Will we be saved or beaten by…
Trump he propagates tyrannical friction
(You can’t) Trump the state we’re in
Trump is a contradiction
Trump and all his political spin

Chorus
Will the world welcome….
Trump with all his rhetoric fiction
(You can’t) Trump him, you must give him chance
Donald Trump is he really prescient
Like it or not he’s our President
