ranting righties rap
by tom hubbard
god save America
a mer i CA save god
forty fifth prez
let us now loudly holler
land of the gun and dollar
private wealth public squalor*
our bible sez
we’re gonna git away with it
ladies and gennlemen
let us bomb yemen
we’ll fake pious pain
over ukraine
send darkskins to rwanda
our tired propaganda
wins over the gullible
whose iq’s terrible
i think we’ll get away with it
promises on the side of a bus
putinpatel trumpytruss
we’ll wink at the bobby
get on with the jobby
draw a line and move on
we’re unmoved won’t be drawn
lefty lawyers and bishops
hate freedom for pishups
peppapig hiccups
they’ll forget all that shit
we’ll get away with it
we’ll vow to deliver
level up or whatever
first lord of the cesspit
crony contracts brexit
we’ll crush those woke rowdies
suck up to the saudis
let the oiks starve and freeze
we’ll announce a new wheeze
we’ll grope puke and plunder
let the dying earth wonder
how we got away with it
