[Donald Trump:]
"As an example, your ... 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..."

[Verse 5]
Cm And every time a student is run over by a tank Abmaj7 And every time a pirate's dog is forced to walk the plank Ab/Gb Every time a Russian bride is advertised for sale G And every time a journalist is left to rot in jail
[Verse 6]
Cm Every time a young girl's life is casually spent Abmaj7 And every time a nincompoop becomes the president Ab/Gb Every time somebody dies reaching for their keys G Gaug And every time that Greenland falls in the fucking sea it's because
[Verse 7]
Cm All of us, the blacks and whites, Chicanos, Asians - every type Abmaj7 Of ethnic group, even folks from Guadaloupe, the old, the young Ab/Gb Toothless hags, supermodels, actors, fags, bleeding hearts G Football stars, men in bars, washer women, tailors, tarts
[Verse 8]
Cm Grannies, grandpas, uncles, aunts, friends, relations, homeless tramps Abmaj7 Clerics, truckers, cleaning ladies, ants Ab/Gb Maybe not ants (Why not ants?) Well, because it's true G The ants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between
[Verse 9]
Cm The pain that other people feel and well, for instance, cutting leaves Abmaj7 Or crawling across window sills in search of open treacle tins Ab/Gb So like the ants, are we just dumb? Is that why we don't feel or see G G7 Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?
[Verse 10]
Cm So every time Abmaj7 The curtain falls Ab/Gb Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life G It is because we all stood by silent and indifferent Cm It's normal!
