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!
