PROMISES

You watch a single channel, because the rest is fake news.
You want your king to ascend so you can get your dues.
But why is he always at the same golf course?
You’re starting to wonder if you have voter’s remorse.

Promises!
Cuts!
Loans!
Jobs!
Perks!
Riches!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

Deceit!
Lies!
Fraud!
Theft!
Hoax!
Crime!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!
(reprise)

Your gardener’s getting deported, it’s finally time.
His existence to you was an awful crime.
But now you’re wondering who is going to cut your lawn?
In the game of life, you have become their pawn.

Promises!
Cuts!
Loans!
Jobs!
Perks!
Riches!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

Deceit!
Lies!
Fraud!
Theft!
Hoax!
Crime!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

“But wasn’t SHE just as bad?”

“Thank goodness we’re now safe from Drag Queens!”

“The Wall will save us all!”

“They were eating the cats and the dogs!”

Promises!
Cuts!
Loans!
Jobs!
Perks!
Riches!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

Weapons!
Guns
Bombs!
War!
Pain!
Death!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

Turmoil!
Angst!
Debt!
Fear!
Loss!
Waste!
…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!

…oh hi…..
I’M STUPID!
