about

"A protest song is a song that's so specific that you cannot mistake it for bullshit" - Phil Ochs

lyrics

Words:

Emperor got no clothes
checking out that hem

Only a narcissist could make this about them

He’s a detriment
on TV
Tie a yellow ribbon

‘round that olde hoax tree

Soul been on a trickle charge from the desperate
No light is shining in and hope goes to forget

He’s a detriment
to us all


He begs the choice already

and he put out this call

,
"who’s waiting
?
who’s ready
?
who’s willing 
to please me?

"

Tiny hands gotta plan
bringing on that hate
Just the sight and sound of him and fascists salivate

He’s a detriment
to his flock

They’re on their knees already

He’s showin’ ‘em how to suck



Follow follow follow the money
Get the guillotine!

Misinform and divide gotta wag that dog

lining up to sacrifice for their demagogue

He’s a detriment
to to us all


He made the choice already 
and he threw out the call



Follow follow follow the money
Get the guillotine!



Baby cries, pacify, better make his bed

Give a blue bird binky to see what’s in that head

He’s a detriment

Sign those checks
!
You know words, lotsa words
Will they save your neck?


We’re ready
We’re willing
We’re able
to end you



Follow follow follow the money
Get the guillotine!
