From the recording WHAT SHALL WE DO (God Help Us All)
ALL ABOUT THE RISE, REIGN AND FALL OF DONALD TRUMP ALONG WITH AMERICA
Lyrics
Oh, promises, promises, shining like gold
Another big story, another lie told
He promised the moon, the stars, and the sea
But saved all the riches for his own family
He came down the escalator, waving his hands
Said he'd bring back the glory to this beautiful land
He'd lower all the prices, make everyone rich
But every new promise came with a bait and switch
He knew his MAGA base would follow along
Even when the facts said he's just so wrong
He sold them a fantasy, dressed it as truth
And called every critic a liar and a fool, and Miss Piggy too
Oh, promises, promises, where did they go
Money in his pocket, but our wallets now run low
Dance to the rhythm, hear the saxophone cry
The price of believing his big beautiful lie
He keeps calling everything a big beautiful thing still
He promised cheap groceries, he promised cheap gas
But working folks watched their savings and farms collapse
The rich got the favors, the poor got the bill
And the man in the mansion kept selling Trump swill
He called it a victory, he called it a win, "We're Winning!" he said
While the people kept paying for the trouble he got us in
He promised a paradise, sunshine and gold
But left us a country in debt, divided and cold
He laughed at the judges, he mocked their every ruling
Called honest elections a game for only fools
He opened the door where the dark shadows crept
While democracy trembled and freedom lost sleep
And those who believed him, keep cheering his name
While truth and deception is his BIG CON GAME
A nation once proud, now divided in two
And nobody knows what tomorrow will do
Oh, promises, promises, where did they go
Money in his pocket, but our wallets now run low
Dance to the rhythm, hear the saxophone cry
The price of believing his big beautiful lie
He keeps calling everything a big beautiful thing still
We never checked the man behind the flamboyant show
Never asked the questions we all needed to know
We bought into the myth, and swallowed the dream
And nothing was ever quite like what it seemed
Now our bills keep rising, and the truth feels lost
We're learning too late what blind faith can cost! (Aren't we?)
So stand for the truth, let democracy grow
The future belongs only to us willing to hear the truth grow
Is that you
As all now ask
WHAT SHALL WE DO
WHAT SHALL WE DO
WHAT SHALL WE DO
