FAIRY TALES & FOUR YEARS
.
Mumble, Fumble, Grumble, Stumble, Gamble and Ramble
Grimm soul is putting us all in a shamble
Eyes so cold, belies a sorrow untold
Takin’ a boy from the borough of Queens and lettin’ him play in the towers of glass and metal has a score to settle
Fee-fi-fo-fum! Look at how far Son of a Drumpf has come!
Overcompensation and exaggeration can’t be held back from his forked tongues’ pout
It’s his world now, ya’ better watch out
More dangerous than a hydrogen bomb, is what comes out of his mouth
Only thing he’s spinning is a yarn of lies
Encased in tacky gold is his puny heart
Turn on the castle lights and them beady eyes shift into diamonds
Son of a Drumpf thinks when he awakens in the morn the revolving planet around him starts
Not so fast, false fool of obliviousness
There are still a few of us out here who calls ’em as we see’s ’em
He peddles it well, he shovels it deep
Cult of the Cotton Candy hair is in a trance-like sleep
Decorum be damned, as he thumps his chest and puts fear in the marrow of anyone in his wake
False Prophet of Populist rage snarls as he stomps across the world stage
The game he knows well, as the media tries to keep up
But, the liar of golden fluff is a cold-blooded prick who gets off on being tough
Grumble, grumble, mumble, and fumble
This ain’t no fairy tale, kiddies
Lady Conway and Count Barron stroke the throne
Egomaniac with a stranglehold on false facts has taken truth out back for 400 whacks
Nauseating nightmare is what we all are living
Just remember it’s only the beginning
Ain’t even been two months
Survive the day, survive the night
Batten down the hatches, cuz’ this is gonna’ be one hell of a fight
1,460 days might be too far in sight
Four years? Four years?
Am I losing my mind?
Oh, no Alice…only down the rabbit hole this nation has gone
Positioned pieces upon Destiny’s chessboard, we are now the pawn
