Trump’s sad, sadistic team

Laughs about their deeds
But Alligator Alcatraz
Is just what NO ONE needs

Hunt, hunt immigrants
Make them sweat and squirm!

Sadists teach them not to seek
US Asylum

First, they dismiss the right

To be heard in court

Quickly, quickly, quickly they
Detain and then deport!

Toss, toss immigrants

Into the Everglades

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry

Haters hunt their prey

Cruel, Cruel, Cruelty

Under the hot sun

Gleefully, gleefully, gleefully, gleefully

They think torture’s fun

Alligator Alcatraz

Should not be its name

It’s a concentration camp
Auschwitz was the same

What’s become of decency

Something we once knew?

We’ll fight and fight to get it back

We need you to fight too!
