about

Inspired in part by a reading of some of 45's old tweets back in May 2017, this song can either be heard as a victory-lap anthem for the current administration or a protest against the same—showing, perhaps, how both sides see themselves as victims and underdogs fighting an oppressor.

lyrics

Few of you have the wisdom to stare out and see
This thing we have is broken permanently
It’s a whiskey trail of watery tears
Hidden by the darkness of night
When success has failed for months and years
Is it better to stay out of sight?

So here’s calling out the pages
And calling out the knowns
And let’s call out the sages
Who talk on their phones
And it’s a hard time for angels
They’re drifting alone
And it’s a work night for ages
We squint and we moan

So it’s once for the prophets
And once where they roam
And it’s twice for the racers
All shiny and chrome
And it’s hard luck embraces
Our cover’s been blown
We’ve been put through the paces
And now, it’s time to go home

Everyone is a liar and cheats all the time
But they still remain too foolish to pull off the crime
But you know me, I’m better than that
I have powers no one can know
So you don’t need an acrobat
Where we’re going, it’s on with the show

So let’s call out the choppers
And call out the cops
And let’s call out the paupers
Who come out on tops
Cause it’s a hard time for strangers
Who see when they’re shown
And it’s a night full of dangers
When the eagle has flown

So it’s once for the codgers
And once when they groan
And it’s twice for the dodgers
Who’re out on their own
And it’s a hard luck oasis
Where they won’t cast a stone
We have worn out our faces
And now, it’s time to go home
