With turmoil in the streets, I realize it's time for a change Mind being turned constantly when the White House is leading us to shame How long will you permit our lives to be turned upside down? But I presume that’s what to discern with a white house stocked with clowns Answer one interview with a straightforward direct reply: I dare you But I’m certain he’s just too afraid to Its election year, our shot to start a change Our Moment to free our country from the brutally insane If you voted for him, please let’s chat on why When he proceeds to deceive time after time Its natural to solve an issue you created It's simple when you’ll be rich forever to shout “Yes, we made it” Mr. President, How did Covid-19 affect your means of living? Mr. President: How much of yourself to this system have you actually given? None I’m certain, but for your choices there is a cost we Americans pay making judgments for a class of individuals when you’ve never struggled this way Make America great again? But when was it ever? We have a decaying limb on our body that we demand to sever So I beg when they mention it’s time to vote Please run down to your designated polls Chose as you prefer and drift free as a bird But never ignore the day you let your cry be heard With turmoil in the streets, I realize its time for a change Mind consistently being shocked when the White House is bringing us to shame How long will you allow our world to be turned upside down? But I presume that’s what to predict with a white house stocked with clowns
