American Dread

re-write of American Pie: A long, long time ago, I can still remember when, The presidency meant so much. I was sure that when they got to vote, They wouldn't choose that pompous goat, And now I'm just astounded that they did. Each speech I heard had made me shrivel, To hear his racist, fascist drivel, It can't be coincidental, his fans all seem quite mental! I didn't know just what to say, When I saw the vote had gone his way, Nothing left but curse or pray, The day Trump bought their pride... So, Hi there! to American dread, Was disorder at the border as the Mexicans fled, The prices soared on petrol, water and bread, It's hard to see a brighter day ahead, Cause democracy and decency are dead… Did you vote and if you did, Did you think of all those homeless kids? Or just about your own dough? Did you vote with head or heart? Well remember that when trouble starts, Did you toss away your future in one throw? Well, I guess that if you voted Trump, It wasn't for that wiggy chump, The cash that you have spare, You don't think you should share! So you voted for the man you guessed, Could improve your fortune for the best, And hell could come and take the rest, The day Trump bought their pride… I started singin' Hi there! to American dread, Mass disorder at the border as the Mexicans fled, The prices soared on petrol, water and bread, It's hard to see a brighter day ahead, When democracy and decency are dead. Now, for four years you're stuck with this ass, And God only knows what will come to pass, But it was what we voted for? When you cast your vote its a one dice roll, So use your head and protect your soul, you never know what fate will have in store. So now you're stuck with Donald Trump, While the markets tank and the dollar slumps, It's open day for cut throats, The immigrants all scapegoats. And while Clinton sues the FBI, And the poorest all begin to cry, And the maggots taint the pumpkin pie, The day Trump bought our pride… I started singin' Hi there! to American dread, Theres disorder at the border as the Mexicans fled, The prices soared on petrol, water and bread, It's hard to see a brighter day ahead, Cause democracy and decency are dead.
