America's Putin

Just another Putin
Born on American soil
You think our nation and dictatorships
Mix like water and oil

Somehow, you think we're immune
From having such a ruler in this land of ours
We have a constitution
That doesn't grant such powers

But don't forget this man
Once suggested the Constitution be set aside
And the people didn't object
Most were on his side

It's happened abroad
It can happen here
A Putin on our soil
Is something we should fear 

Or is it a Wild and Crazy Thought?

Does he want to rule the world?
Yes, maybe that's a wild and crazy thought
Before he could even get started
We'd surely have him caught

But sit back, think and consider
How he mirrors the world's strongmen
And each of them would conquer the world
Do we expect him to be better than them? 

 Footholds

He wants to rule the world, I guess
And he's eyeing some footholds, you know
Planning to take over Canada, Iceland, and the Panama Canal
I wonder if that will take a while

From there, who knows what conquests he has planned
Maybe he'll take Mexico
Who knows what countries he will eye next
Who knows where he will go

Sanity Escapes Him

Sanity escapes an insane man
Reality is never present
He wants to replace income tax with tariffs
And the results will not be pleasant

He argues there was a day
When tariffs were all that we had
And he will tell you we were better off then
Really, Mr. President, can you be so mad?

Poverty was rampant in America then
So, what is he talking about?
In a modern world, tariffs won't pay the bills
Of this, we have no doubt

So, write him off as insane
Our president-elect
He'll ruin our nation
He'll certainly leave it wrecked

 His Greatest Thrill

You were born in this country
The choice was not your own
But the immigrant chose to come here
Attracted like a loadstone

You take your citizenship for granted
He never will
For him, just being here
Is the greatest thrill

Living on the Same Soil

I've always thought of them as Americans
The immigrants from foreign lands
I know you don't want to call them that
For they come from foreign sands

But they live on the same soil
The same as you and me
And in that sense, they are Americans
Won't you please agree?

 Patriots Arrive on Our Shores

I've always thought of them as patriots
For the immigrants love this land
And they cherish everything it stands for
That's something you must understand

They love liberty
They love freedom of speech
It's the reason they come to America
The reason our shores, they reach
