Obscene

(sung to the tune of Dolly Parton's “Jolene”) lyrics by: Medgar Fallon Roe

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump’s words are all obscene!

Late in January oh so cold
A pandemic was foretold
Trump ignored it as a hoax so mean

When February rolled around
Still his ignorance did abound
He said soon we’d have a new vaccine!

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!

While he tweeted his politic
Thousands more were getting sick
He thought of just himself there in between

March was just like all the rest
Not enough of virus tests
Poor response became his one routine

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!

To add to his incompetence
He suggested as our recompense
Disinfectant be our new cuisine

He spoke then of economy
And championed a recovery
Just wants his face on a TV screen

Obscene! Obscene! Obscene! Obscene!
Trump Administration is obscene!

His insanity for four more years
Raises doubts and harbors fears
About ever getting us a new vaccine

Remove this evil, rabid pox
Do it through the ballot box!
Once again the White House will be clean!

Obscene!

G'day Jack … very few politicians can be believed. They promise plenty but deliver little. Their eyes are on the polls. How bad is the opposition if the American people prefer Donald at election time. Nice set of protest lyrics Jack - Lindsay
