Thread Name: Songs for the Age of Trump
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU AIN'T MY PRESIDENT
Hey guys, Woody's "Old Man Trump" (itself spun from "Aint got no Home in this World") has given birth to numerous spin offs including this one, called "You Aint my President" soon to be issued on my next album. The demo is already on Youtube if you can't wait. Number 6 in my arsenal of Trump songs. Use it freely. Folksongs ARE dangerous.

You Ain’t My President Jack Warshaw 2017
I can see and I suppose that goddam Trump he shows
Just how much hate he sows in the world of human kind
When you took that oath of office, right there I knew for sure
That this land was not my land any more.
Chorus
Oh, Mister Trump, you ain’t my President
My country’s on the rocks and my soul is badly bent
You don’t fool me at all, your pride will see you fall
No, no, Mr Trump, you ain’t my President
You cheated, lied and stole, to fix those voting polls
The promises you made were paid by human souls
Now you have the power, you take instead of give
You’re using up the country, how can the country live?
Chorus
You deny the Earth’s in danger, you sponsor greed and waste
You want to ban all immigrants of any different faith
You think women are just playthings, you crush poor people’s health
You think that a person’s dignity is only based on wealth
Chorus
Fake news is the tool you use to hide the deeds you do
But you can’t hide the truth that the biggest fake is you
Now everybody knows it, and you will soon be gone
Damn you, Mr Trump and the horse you rode in on.
Chorus
