America Last
Republicans betrayed.
On every issue, Trump is under water with the American people generally and even with his own supporters. People are starting to see through the lies. It can’t come soon enough.
Oh, and be sure to check out my song Memorial Day on this anniversary of January 6.
Lyrics
Receipt’s on the counter, this month’s budget is gone
A single bag of groceries and I feel like a pawn.
I remember the rally, I remember the roar
“Fix it on Day One,” is what we voted for.
Now the daycare’s shuttered, padlocks on the gate
They cut the credits, said we just had to wait.
My wife’s crying in the kitchen, counting out the dimes
I thought we’d be winning, dreamt of good times.
I fought with my family, I fought with my friends,
I defended the Big Lie ‘til the bitterest of ends.
I burned every bridge just to stand by your side,
Now you’re lining your pockets while you take us for a ride.
It was supposed to be America First,
But all I see is Americans Last.
My chest got tight on a Tuesday night
I sped to the clinic to calm my fright.
But the windows were black, chains on the door
They killed the funding, just like they swore.
Now it’s a hundred miles of asphalt to the E.R. bay
Praying the transmission holds, hoping I can pay.
My premium’s higher than it’s ever been
Tell me, is this really how we win?
I fought with my family, I fought with my friends,
I defended the Big Lie ‘til the bitterest of ends.
I burned every bridge just to stand by your side,
Now you’re lining your pockets while you take us for a ride.
It was supposed to be America First,
But all I see is Americans Last.
I saw the masked thugs raid the construction site
Snatched up the workers in broad daylight.
Trump promised to deport the “worst of the worst,”
But they grabbed the diner waitress and threw her in first.
And Luis the gardener? He’s gone to the camp,
Shivering cold under a sodium lamp.
I voted for order, I voted for law,
But this ain’t justice, it’s cruelty I saw.
Turn on the news, he gave Ukraine to the bear
Turned his back on the slaughter, said he didn’t care.
Now Trump’s started a war for Venezuela’s crude
Sending our boys to die for a billionaire’s feud.
He destroyed the People’s House for a gilded hall,
Throwing Gatsby parties while we lose it all.
And the Epstein Files? Yeah, they buried those deep.
Tell me, what secrets is the President so desperate to keep?
Yeah, I wanted a savior.
I wanted a change.
But looking in the mirror…
It all looks deranged.
“Day One,” he said.
“Day One...”
