The State Of The Union Is Beautiful (Many People Say)
A gilded operetta of corruption, loyalty, and the music that plays while the ceiling cracks.
Y’all get two songs this week…because I couldn’t help myself. Both in “honor” of the State of the Union address on Tuesday. This first one is from the point of view of trump himself. Tomorrow you’ll get the point of view of Uncle Sam as he watched the State of the Union. (Scroll down for alternate genres.)
Lyrics
Welcome my friends to the floor of the House
We’ve silenced the watchdogs as quiet as mice
Just look at the gold we’ve installed in the room
The East Wing is gone, but just look at the price!
The state of the union is beautiful, folks
The system was rigged, my little joke
Oh the state of the union is beautiful, many people say
I’m selling the airwaves, the country’s my prey
The crypto is pumping, the family is paid
It’s the greatest agreement that I ever made
Pam Bondi at Justice agrees
The country looks best when it’s down on its knees!
I’ve got a new jet from the Qatari sheikhs
A four-hundred million apology gift
I sued my own Treasury, think of the stakes
It takes a true genius to manage the grift
The ballots in Georgia are under my lock
And DOGE took an axe to the government block
Oh the state of the union is beautiful, many people say
I’m selling the airwaves, the country is my prey
I’m pumping the crypto, the family is paid
It’s the greatest agreement that I ever made
Pam Bondi at Justice agrees
The country looks best when it’s down on its knees!
Why enforce laws when the bribery is sweet?
I paused the FCPA, take to the street!
Seventeen IGs I fired in the dark
And dumped all the rubbish in Potomac Park
The loyalty oaths are all signed on the line
The state of the union is perfectly mine.
We padlocked the schools, all the teachers are gone
A trillion in debt makes a beautiful pawn!
Ukraine is abandoned, my pal has the floor
While troops are deployed to the journalists’ door!
The tariffs are taxing the poor to the brink
But look at my ratings, and what do you think?!
Oh the state of the union is beautiful, many people say
I’m selling the airwaves, the country is my prey
The crypto is pumping, the family is paid
It’s the greatest agreement that I ever made
Pam Bondi at Justice agrees
The country looks best when it’s down on its knees!
