[Donald Trump:]
"As a example you're CNN. I mean it's story, after story, after story is bad. I won. I won.
And the other thing, chaos. There's zero chaos. We are running - this is a fine-tuned machine..."
[Intro]
Gm Eb D
Gm Eb G Gm D Fm
[Verse 1]
Db The goose has gotten fat B Bb On caviar and fancy bars C And subprime loans
And broken homes
Fm Db Is this the life, the holy grail? Bb It's not enough that we succeed C We still need others to fail
[Verse 2]
Ebm B Fear, fear drives the mills of modern man A Fear keeps us all in line Bb Fear of all those foreigners
Fear of all their crimes
Ebm B Is this the life we really want? A Am It surely must be so Bb Dbm A G Ab For this is a democracy and what we all say goes
[Verse 3]
Dbm And every time a student is run over by a tank A And every time a pirate's dog is forced to walk the plank G Every time a Russian bride is advertised for sale Ab And every time a journalist is left to rot in jail Dbm Every time a young girl's life is casually spent A And every time a nincompoop becomes the president G Every time somebody dies reaching for their keys Ab And every time that Greenland falls in the fucking sea it's because
[Verse 4]
Dbm All of us, the blacks and whites A Chicanos, Asians - every type of ethnic group
Even folks from Guadaloupe, the old, the young
G Toothless hags, supermodels, actors, fags, bleeding hearts Ab Football stars, men in bars, washer women, tailors, tarts Dbm Grannies, grandpas, uncles, aunts
Friends, relations, homeless tramps
A Clerics, truckers, cleaning ladies, ants G Maybe not ants G Why not ants?
Well, because it's true
Ab The ants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between Db The pain that other people feel Dbm And well, for instance, cutting leaves A Or crawling across window sills
In search of open treacle tins
G
So like the ants, are we just dumb?Is that why we don't feel or see
Ab Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV? Dbm So every time A The curtain falls G Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life Ab It is because we all stood by silent and indifferent Dbm It's normal!
