Horrible Orange man
We see through you and your evil plan
We won’t fooled by your scam
Horrible Orange Man
We won’t let you ruin sunsets
We won’t let you ruin carrot juice
We saved the orange from Anita Bryant
There’s no orange in the red white and blue
Horrible Orange man
We see through you and your evil plan
We won’t fooled by your scam
Horrible Orange Man
We won’t let you ruin autumn
Or the beauty of burning fire
The orange dripping off your face
The clown makeup you wear conceals the liar

Don’t be fooled by the stupid man (3x)
Just because he has some dough
Just because he had a show
Doesn’t mean he’s in the know
Doesn’t mean he’s all a glow
He’s darker than Edgar Allen Poe
No no no don’t do it
Don’t be fooled by the stupid man (3x)
Just because he owns some shit
Doesn’t mean he’s not twit
He’s a baby man who’s prone to fit
He’s a lousy lying hypocrite
His every word is counterfeit
No no no don’t do it
Everyone can see its true
Everyone you bump into
Is sick to death of being screwed
The government has gone cuckoo
I think its time we all withdrew
Yeah yeah yeah lets do it

The Idiot Man

Everybody knows, everybody sees
Everybody shakes in disbelief
A million stupid plans, like only stupid can
Another razor dulls inside the man
All the people want is for you to go away
You’re an idiot, the idiot man
Here comes the idiot, the idiot man
Such an idiot, the idiot man is here
Sitting all alone, with books you’ve never read
Did someone maybe drop you on your head
Or lock you far away, no sunlight only gray
Dreaming of a biblical judgment day
All the people want is for you to shut your trap
You’re an idiot, the idiot man
Here comes the idiot, the idiot man
Such an idiot, the idiot man is here
Mr. know it all got nothing on you
With a voice so loud I bet nothing gets through
A genius will get no parade
Putting anyone else in charge would be an upgrade
All the people want is for you to fly off to the moon
You’re an idiot, the idiot man
Here comes the idiot, the idiot man
Such an idiot, the idiot man is here

It's Just Pretend

TV’s on, Twitter melts my phone
Unsympathetic Zombies and the Twilight Zone
Blues skies turn familiar reds
Take it as omen, for dark days ahead
Evil Men, Unpresidented Men
Filling up the White House with their diamonds and billionaire friends
Small minded men, hitching up their tents
When they say they care for you know its just pretend
Wall St money, the last commodity
You fill your bag, but it still feels empty
I can see the anger bubbling up
Volcano men downtown, they violently erupt
Evil Men, Unpresidented Men
Filling up the White House with their diamonds and billionaire friends
Small minded men, hitching up their tents
When they say they care for you, its just pretend
They’ll demonize you just for being you
Til you’re beaten down without a clue
They demonized you oh so long ago
Its just status quo, don’tcha know?
When you can, you try to be so high
Ideals we once could count on, no longer apply
Its love and empathy they don’t understand,
No matter how they want to, it slips right through their hands
Evil Men, Unpresidential Men
Filling up the White House with their diamonds and billionaire friends
Waiting at the gates with their poison pens
When they say they care for you know its just pretend
I know they say they care for you but its just pretend.

This is Not Normal

This is Not Normal
The sun still shines, trees done blooming
Breeze feels fine, but I threw on my coat
But something’s off, this is not normal
Brush my teeth, eat my breakfast
Head out the door but I caught your eye
Something’s wrong, this is not normal
Muslin registries, dissolving Medicaid
Encouraging hatred like a demagogue
Erosion of liberty, Russian interference
White supremacy, pro-fascist extremists
I went to work, made some coffee
Checked my schedule, took a look at my phone
Then I remember, this is not normal
Conspiracy theorists, anti-science doctrines
Conflicts of interest, national despair
Authoritarianism, mysterious tax returns
With all persistent lying, idiot winds make fires burn
Some take cars, some take the subway
Citibank bikes clogging the lane
Yesterday seems so distant, this is not normal
