Sixteen tons of po-lit-ical shit!

When the President’s a felon that’s what we git!

Tax cuts for the rich-est on the backs of the poor.

and kids bein caged at our Sou-thern bor-der.

Edu-ca-tion and health are goin down the drain

cause ev‘-ry Trump ap-point-ee is miss-in’ a brain!

Saint Pe-ter, don’t you call us, cause we cain’t come.

Gotta save this world for our gra-and-chil-dren!

Need to take back our po-wer and our li-i-ber-ties.

Make de-mands! No more “pretty please“!

Stand un-i-ted, every one of us

and ne-ver back down just cuz they make a fuss.

We got a con man pres-i-dent, and corp‘rate cab-i-net.

They don’t have a con-science, so they ne-ver re-gret

sell-in’ our fu-ture for what-ev-er they c’n get!

We gotta let ’em know that we A-AIN’T done YET!!!

We’re gonna save this pla-net from the likes a these crooks!

Im-peach, in-dict ‘n throw all the law books

at all a these slime balls and no par-den!

Very Slow-> Gonna save this wo-or-or-orld… for our gra-and-chil-dren!
