Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump)
Here's an appropriate parody by a friend of mine:
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS ALMOST OVER parody of Steve Goodman’s The 20th Century Is Almost Over by Charles Roth
Back in 1939, Hitler started singing his Ein, Ein, Ein 100 days of Trump, & we're back in that time, yes every boy and girl Now there's only one thing that I'd like to know Where did American democracy go? I'd swear it was here just a minute ago / All over this land
Chorus: And now American democracy is Almost over (x3) American democracy is almost over All over this land American democracy is almost over All over this land
Does anyone remember the Great Depression? Neither Xi nor Putin makin' any concessions Read all about the on-coming recession 'Less the tariffs get put on hold Has anybody seen my lithium ores Silicon wafers, or Rare Earth stores They got stuck in the MAGA trade wars / All over this land
Winters getting warmer, summers getting hotter The southwest states are runnin' out of water Mother Earth's fryin' cause somebody oughter Save the planet 'stead of flyin' to Mars! Tell me how you gonna harvest crops on the farm Since immigrant workers have lost their charm I-C-E set off a burglar alarm Xenophobia's gone too far!
Cory Booker's best is long filibuster yappin' SCOTUS barely gave Trump's knuckles a rappin' Everybody's waiting for their arrest to happen Tell me if it happens to you! Election Day proved a real disaster We traded cheaper eggs for an ego-centric master If you duck your part we'll lose a little faster All over this land!
