Double Speed

Presenting an opportunity
One you've never had before
You can elect a dictator
And kiss democracy goodbye forever more

Seize the day
Capture the hour
Don't let this chance pass by
It's the opportunity of a lifetime
Yes, finally the moment is nigh

Donald Trump
Donald Trump
Elect him while you can
Never in the history of America
Has there ever been such a plan

Kiss democracy goodbye
Tyranny's what we need
Tyranny's great
Tyranny's grand
Head for it at double speed

 
Raising the Stakes

Not just another election
Not politics as usual
Not just another year
With a Democrat on one side
And a Republican on the other

2024 ups the ante 
The stakes go up
Not just another year
When you simply pick whichever you'd druther

The cost of making the wrong decision has soared
Gone up through the roof
A misstep 
This time
Elects a dictator

And there's only one person who can stop this
The ascention of a king
Are you going to get involved
Or will you remain a spectator

Hammering Nails

You don't quit hammering nails
Just because you've hammered a few
If you're building something that's going to stand
You pound nails until you're through

I've pounded nails at one candidate
Who's running for president
And as long as there are more nails in my sack
I can't be hesitant

Some things I say just once
And some things I say a bunch of times
Because sometimes you need to hammer
Or people will forget his crimes

 

Snake Oil

Trump is the elixir
The concoction, brew and mixer
He is the snake oil of the campaign trail

Step right up
All that ails you ends with a sip of this
Says the carnival man making the sale

War in the Middle East?
It wouldn't have happened if I were there
War in Ukraine?
If I were there, they wouldn't dare

How about the economy?
Would it be near so bad if Trump were in charge?
Of course not
Not for you or Tom or even your Aunt Marge

You buy his lines
You buy the elixir
It's snake oil on your shelf
If you vote for him
And his magic potions fail

You have no one to blame but yourself

Can You be Jailed for Your Opinion?

If you can be impeached for not believing as others
Can you also be thrown in jail?
If your opinion does not line up with that of the Republicans
Will you be tossed in a slammer without bail?

I'm in horrors at how our basic freedom
Has so quickly sunk to this point
And you can't blame just Donald Trump
For every Republican would toss Mayorkas in the joint

Do we have disagreement as to what should be done at the border?
Obviously and of course we do
But to impeach someone because their opinion doesn't line up with yours
Is a sign that democracy's through

 

Tell Me Again

Tell me again what Alejandro Mayorkas did
Tell me again, if you will
Tell me what crime 
Tell me what breach
Tell me how he failed your drill

You're impeaching us
So we'll impeach you
That's really all that this is
Don't ask us to be reasonable
Don't ask us to be just
That really isn't our biz

Your guy let them in
All these immigrants
And among them were terrorists
And some of the people 
You let into our land
Were rapists and socialists

So we'll impeach you today
You Democrats will pay
For letting non-Americans into our land
That's not how you make America great again
That's not how you make America grand

I'm at loss to find good reason
I'm at a loss to see any justice
For impeaching someone because their politics aren't yours
You impeach them for nothing
You impeach them for revenge
All that's just and fair your impeachment ignores

 

You Know Him by His Game

Masters of deception
Yet skilled at making flattery
And they are cruel and mean to others
Committing verbal battery

They lie and exaggerate
They seek power, control and dominance
And there's not a thing they won't resort to
In their quest for greater prominance    

They disregard rules and laws
And don't think they should face the music
For all the problems that they cause

You know well the psychopath I'm speaking of
I don't need to say his name
You know him by his actions
You know him by his game
