LOOKIN' BADDER (February 4)

(With apologies to Graham Nash.)

We are in a royal mess,
we are swirling down the drain
with this presidential Fascist 
It's a slide
While the HAP-less Dem-o-crats
indulge their stupid spats
instead of unifying ‘round
a single gal or guy
They can’t change a thing
with their bic-ker-ing
We're dying
Dems don't get it

Fuzzy thinking id-i-ots,
heads buried in the sand,
they're ig-nor-ing all re-al-it-y,
thereby guar-an-tee-ing that 
this dis-gust-ing lump
will remain in office
in-DEF-IN-at-ly
They can’t change a thing
with their sim-per-ing
We’re dying. They say they believe in justice
We’re dying. They say they believe in freedom
We're dying. This was an Ayn Rand line
We’re dying. Rules and regulations . . . we need ‘em
We’re dying on the floor

Trump believes that he can rule
entirely by decree
Roberts and the cohort courts agree
From the plastic-poisoned oceans
to our trash left on the moon
the only thing they think about:
cash ar-IS-toc-racy,
which has changed the world,
rearranged the world
Dems let them. They say they believe in justice
Dems let them. They say they believe in freedom
Dems let them. This was an Ayn Rand line
Dems let them. Rules and regulations . . . we need ‘em
We’re dying on the floor
