lyrics

In a world where money talks
And the truth remains unspoken
There's a rise of a hate-filled walk
A sleeping bigotry's been awoken

Chorus 1: It's leader claims only he can fix.
Divisions in our national mix
Just trust him, don't put up a fight
Be glad you're free, now give up your rights.

Followers decry incivility
But want the freedom to discriminate
Say they need religious liberty
That's practiced by refusing to serve gays.

Chorus 2: Their leader - he has promised this
To fight tension in the national mix
Claims Jesus Christ wants it that way
And those who disagree must pay

His followers now on the prowl
Seeking people they can now attack
Their leader's rallies an example now
To target women, the media and blacks

Chorus 3: Their leader claims only he can fix
The tension in our national mix
Those who oppose him must say when
To make this nation great again.

If you're faith's different than be alert.
'Cause the leader wants to take away your rights
Keeping them will involve struggle and hurt
'Cause in their eyes greatness is just for whites

Chorus 4: The leader - he has promised this.
To fight tension in the national mix
Fans the flames of bigotry
To further his followers' hypocrisy

He drained the swamp and son we find
He hired the worst among the slime
Vent falsehoods about climate change
It's okay as long as donors get paid
