Landslide Barack Senate cut
History made 2008

No papers go back home
Neighbor south no pay
Border not orange way
Build wall, Humpty’s fall
Mexican tunnels, City Hall
Nuclear football, Donald Trump
Push button, waste this dump
Greta Thurnbeg Donald’s thorn
Though 2003 child was born

Words of intelligence truly not minced
Impeach yes! Impeach no!
Don’s bankroll, tons of dough
Clean power out, Earth’s final hours
Orange sheriff’S metal tariffs
North Korean atomic crisis
Kim Jong Un volatile as Isis
Canada, Mexico, yellow horde

Halo, FallOut, combat, get fat
Entitlement, laziness, ingratitude
Ask me not attitude
Relationships via text
Porn on-line who needs sex
Rainbows fly proud across the land
Not all amongst like that stand
Violence still runs amok
Guns are cheap, ammo in stock
Mass shooting clubs, mass shooting schools
Psychotic hypocritical well-armed fools
We didn’t fan the coals
Millenial gen burrowing moles
Entitlement, self absorption
Lackadaisical mental abortion
We didn’t spark the flames
Nobody can put them out
Internet abuzz, Avatar fuzz
Political unrest, viper’s nest
Black or white, all the rest
Joel wondered who started the fire
I just wanna know
Will millennials be wired?
Job market gluts
Video addicts, gaming sluts
We didn’t fan the coals
Millenial gen burrowing moles
Entitlement, self absorbption
Lackadaisical mental abortion
We didn’t light the fires Billy
Nobody can put them out
Internet abuzz, Avatar fuzz
Political unrest, Viper’s nest
Black or white, All the rest
