lyrics

We’re the ones who donated
so you can win the race
then turn around and make the cash grab

And then we Turn around
and thank you for the backstab

Only have to change the names
on Trump-Era hashtags
To,
#BidenLiedPeopleDied,
#BidenBuiltTheWall
and #BidenIsAFascist

That one’s gonna get a workout this summer every gas attack

Every time they kettle you and rush you
in a charging, armored mass attack.

And the last thought that you have
before your head hits the ground,
splits, shatters, and then bounces back,

Is how much they deducted
for that body armor
just before they gave your measly taxes back.

This is war, and that’s a fact.

This is more than Biden gets to fix by saying “Riot Bad, White Terror Good”
And sending you away with a little bit of
placid satisfaction, thinking that was that.

But that was FAR from that.

That was far from making half a millionth
of a fraction of a surface scratch.

That was only muddying
the waters of your scrying pools,
grind a little gravel on your looking glass

So that, when all the truth is bare,
it is but an empty air
and a thousand yard stare
with which we’re looking past.

And all it took for me
was one classic Biden speech
to know there’s nothing I won’t put him past.

Be it jacking up your Insulin,
or caging every Immigrant,
or threatening the victims of his sex offense and smearing them to try and get
his footing back.

Biden is a war crime veteran
who’s dropped the bomb on better men,

and all for only Lockheed Martin’s benefit.

So please don’t try to paint his bitter bigotry
as something tame,
like he was just a grumpy grandpa
bitching for his pudding back.

Unity and Solidarity, to Joe Biden
means a meeting where the hoods are black.

Which, if it’s representative of ANYTHING,
it’s just the executioner
who lives to swing the axe,
and never ONCE has thought of looking back.

And some need never fear the axe
who still possess a Hope Chest
with the wood intact

The same who swear they’d never march
with all those nasty fascists,
but they would, in fact.

The same who say they’d never cheer
a journalist who’s being tortured
for exposing war crimes
each of us should deem important,
but they would, in fact.

The same who say they wouldn’t call the cops on every unassuming black teenager
they see walking down their block,
but they would, in fact.

Biden said he wouldn’t,
so you voted when you shouldn’t,
Cause he would, in fact.
