Come to Be

The piano player said it best, there’s two sides to every quest: my side and the wrong side
Who knew then he’d show the truth of a president sworn to lose the faith of human kind
I can’t believe it’s come to this, our country’s in a total mess, it’s just a bunch of chaos here in the USA
I’m scared of what will come this year as we all drown in fear, less and less is coming clear for you and me
3-6-5 down in the past, 1K more will be our test for the future of our lives
Stand and fight and don’t give up, we’ll come clean out from this muck. Can you hear the children cry?
I can’t believe it’s come to this, our country’s in a total mess, it’s just a bunch of chaos here in the USA
I’m scared of what will come this year as we all drown in fear, less and less is coming clear for you and me
North Korea, Pakistan: their nukes will bring us to our end, so please just try to make amends and set me free
What will ever happen now as POTUS goes and has a cow? Resist we must I do avow. We’ll come to be?

Obstruction

Back in Jan you hire Flynn, advise you on the world of sin
Kushner says to talk to Putin, took his gun and started shootin’
At every Russian that he saw, him and him, the son in law
Kislyak he talks to Moscow, Mueller’s here it’s getting hot now
Your team goes on without a sound, shady things they are abound
Ask Comey to drop it all, push it down, let it fall
But it’s true he knows too much, with him gone there is no fuss
Fire off the head of Fed, he’s too close, he’ll make you dead
Obstruction! Knew it all along! Obstruction! You did all the wrong!
Obstruction! Mueller closing in! Obstruction!
Then promote the deputy, ask him for his loyalty
When he threatens to resign, Jeff goes back to realign
Force Andy out and let him go, then you take another blow
Your past is coming back to haunt, don’t walk round so nonchalant
Now you don’t know what to do, as Bobby closes in on you
House of cards start coming down, Manafort is in the ground
Papadapoulos is gone, now it’s time you see the sun
Illuminate the scary truth, this whole time you’re in cahoots
Obstruction! Knew it all along! Obstruction! You did all the wrong!
Obstruction! Mueller closing in! Obstruction!

Stuck in the Sand Trap

All the time you cried about Obama playin’ his game: “I won’t play that much, I won’t do the same”
But every week you go out and tee up from the tips, “Fore,” you cry aloud on the bank of Potomac
Back in March you told us that you’d go take a trip down to Mar-a-lago, a quick weekend visit
You said you’d take some calls and conduct some business, but then a photo shows you golf with two idiots
Stuck in the sand trap and you brought us in with you, wind up, swing it down, three more years in view
Bunkers everywhere but there’s no shelter here because we are stuck in the sand trap
Your press team spits the lies: “he just hit a few balls,” that was after you took those important calls
So then it’s one week later and you go back to the Falls, pull in to your club with motorcade, SWAT, and all
“Will he play today?” we ask, you have no idea, your press team hides the truth but we know what’s clear
Sporting cleats, glove, and hat, you step out to the links, swing and miss and drive around and then a diet drink
Stuck in the sand trap and you brought us in with you, wind up, swing it down, three more years in view
Bunkers everywhere but there’s no shelter here because we are stuck in the sand trap
92 times you’ve played your game, but it’s only been just 400 days
What did you say about your predecessor? “Stop flying around so much work, work, work!”
Stuck in the sand trap and you brought us in with you, wind up, swing it down, three more years in view
Bunkers everywhere but there’s no shelter here because we are stuck in the sand trap
