about

Working people got so desperate they elected a gangster thug reality tv star as President of the United States. I had a dream that he got carried out of the oval office in handcuffs. His hair does match an orange prison jumpsuit!

lyrics

I Hope We Never See You Again

It was just another deal
nothing wrong if you don’t get caught
almost anyone can be bought
and you were reasonably sure you’d built a wall
around you and your family

steel hand cuffs where your Rolex was
hair finally matches suit
as they lead you away, all I can say is
I hope we never see you again
I hope we never see you again

they picked you up on your golf course
secret service had to stand down
for the agents of the law
the real law, the people’s law
you thought you were above it
but you were wrong

steel hand cuffs where your Rolex was
hair finally matches suit
as they lead you away, all I can say is
I hope we never see you again
I hope we never see you again

is there a special jail for Presidents?
maybe some dark bunker in a mountain
do they keep their protection?
guaranteed by constitution
the talk show hosts cry
as their ratings die

your Russian friends can’t help you
or your son in law
you were finally burned by your arrogance

steel hand cuffs where your Rolex was
hair finally matches suit
as they lead you away, all I can say is
I hope we never see you again
I hope we never see you again
