Shakedown in the Oval Office

A shakedown in the Oval Office
You know what a shakedown is, don't you?
You take something from someone by making threats
And they give the money to you before it's all through

Trump wants some money
Something to pay for all we've done
He threatens we won't help anymore
And he's not just kidding and making fun

We want half of your minerals
Half of them, I say
And after issuing his threat
Trump just walks away

Zelensky mulls it over
Seems he has no choice
And when he comes into Trump's office
Trump and Vance raise their voice

A shakedown in the Oval Office
Money wasn't demanded before this new president
But now, after the fact, the rules have changed
Trump is setting a new precedent

I'm looking out for No. 1, Trump says
It's all about what's in it for me
I'm giving you quite a bargain
Are you bright enough to see?

Long, long ago we made a deal
Promising to defend Ukraine
Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal
So our defense it could obtain

Ukraine has already paid for help
Already paid for aid
But when you're in Trump's shakedown
He forgets the promise that we made
