once upon a time there was a mean old man
who wore a sad toupee and had tiny hands
with skin like an orange or maybe a carrot
had a billion bucks but he never would share it
not even just a few
especially not with folks like me and you
well he rose to power and he rose to fame
and he built himself a tower to display his name
and he'd sit up there at the very top
eatin' fast food and drinkin' pop
that's right soda pop
gotta get that high fructose corn syrup
eventually he won the highest seat
in all of the world but he didn't cheat
he wants you to now wants you to believe
he won all fair and square no tricks up his sleeve
not a one, except maybe the cereal
hey man tricks are for kids
I guess too many people just sat around wishin'
for a business man to fake a politician
twitterin' and tweetin' like a dumpy old bird
if he couldn't think of one he made up his own words
some call that ingenuity
I call it covfefe
plenty of folks they were content with this
they'd say "better than a woman or a socialist"
"better than a black man born in Kenya"
they wouldn't take cane sugar not even splenda
these folks wanted aspartame
I told em' it caused cancer you know what they told me
fake news
well the whole worlds in trouble with that dude in charge
and I'm not talkin' little, I'ma talkin' large,
I'ma talkin' a large lot of trouble they're all in
they'da been better off with a mannequin for president
mannequin for president, who ever hearda such a thing
never know could work
climate was changin' ice caps were meltin'
people all sorts were talkin' rebellion
they were takin' to the streets - civil disobedience
while scientists were tryin' to convince one orange man
that all that evidence they compiled was evidently concrete
who'da thunk it
other side of the world there a dictator sittin'
with a nuclear weapon and he's just itchin'
says he's gotta button and he keeps it in his office
he's a-ready to launch it so you better be cautious
my buttons bigger and more powerful
naturally
since we got blowed up its been hard to tell
which one of them maniacs dropped the first bombshell
guess it don't matter now that we're all dead
and on our way up to the supreme godhead
and I'm gettin of kinda excited
I heard a lot about him through my whole life
and I've got some questions to ask
you still keep in touch with lucifer
well now I'm up in heaven cuz the world has ended
and I was kinda hopin' that this place was splendid
but it turned out god was like president
except that he's in the spiritual realm and he's hell bent
on tellin' allah, buddha, krishna, that blue guy
you ain't got no place up here
you don't look like me
go get your own heaven
I'm gonna build a wall
a heavenly wall
get out
amen

well if I was a pickle I'd live inside a jar
I ain't no pickle so I live out of my car
don't ask noone for nothin work hard as I can
it seems to me that pickles got it easier than man
I say we go on down to the local grocery store
round up all them pickle jars and smash em on the floor
god damn
cuz them no good lousy pickles they just sit there and ferment
they're worse than couch potatoes and my taxes pay their rent
see the problem with this pictures is that pickles got it good
I say we drive them pickles out of our nice neighborhoods
you know they don't speak english can't speak at all
think I might just build myself a little anti-pickle wall
make em pay for it
I don't like them bread and butters I can't stand kosher dills
I've got enough trouble payin for my own damn bills
this pickle problem is serious I can't stress it enough
no and i won't stop fighting pickles till i see em all in cuffs
you can send em back down to that cucumber vine
I'd rather turn em into relish than watch them float there in brine
now people it ain't about their color you know I love my greens
and I'm in support of freedom for all veggies fruits and beans
but somethin bout them pickles just don't sit right with me
and I ain't never seen no pickle jar come with guarantee
keep them pickles off your next cheese platter
but you can keep them kalamatas because we all know olives matter
don't they

oh say can you see
old glory a-wavin
through tear gas and tall razor wire
that red white and blue won't mean nothin to you
if refuge is all you desire
you come on your bare feet
you come thousands of miles
come flee from your murderous homeland
we're here for you all beyond big border walls
take your freedom into your own hands
you give us your tired
and your poor huddled masses
we'll sort em out and put em all in cages
we all know your type when our fruit is near ripe
you'll do the work for unlivable wages
your children we'll keep
they'll be safe from your harm
don't worry we've got fourteen thousand
and once they've grown up we'll have just enough
to work every inch of our farm land
oh say can you see
old glory a-wavin
through tear gas and tall razor wire
that red white and blue won't mean nothin to you
if refuge is all you desire
that red white and blue won't mean nothin to you
if asylum is all you desire
that red white and blue won't mean nothin to you
if your freedom is all you desire
