You Ain't My President

from Misfits Migrants and Murders by Jack Warshaw

/

about

Inspired by Woody Guthrie's "Old Man Trump," Not My President is the phrase on millions of American lips right now as they work and campaign to rid the country of, probably, the most damaging and dangerous president in its history.

lyrics

I can see and I suppose that goddamn Trump he knows
Just how much hate he sows in the hearts of humankind
When he took that oath of office, right there I knew for sure
That this land is not my land anymore

Chorus
Oh mister Trump, you ain't my President
My country's on the rocks and my soul is badly bent
You don't fool me at all, your pride will see you fall
No, no mister Trump, you ain't my President

You cheated lied and stole to fix them voting polls
The promises you made are paid by human souls
Now you have the power, you take instead of give
You're using up the country, how can the country live?

Chorus

You deny the Earth's in danger, you sponsor greed and waste
You wanna ban all immigrants of any different faith
You think women are just playthings, you crush poor people's health.
You think a person's dignity is only based on wealth

Chorus

Fake news is the tool you use to hide the deeds you do
But you can't hide the truth that the biggest fake is you
Now everybody knows it and you will soon be gone
Damn you Mr Trump and the horse you rode in on.

Chorus
