lyrics

Let me ask you a question
Give you some food for thought
About the state of the nation
What’s in the melting pot

The so-called leader of freedom
Is offering no excuse
So while we’re watching in horror
Let’s all look for the truth

Does he disrespect women
Does he lie when it counts
Does he insult other cultures
Does he push us around

Does he make fun of the handicapped
Does he treat humans like shit
Does he deserve to be removed from office
Does he define hypocrite

It’s not an attack, this is not my president
No it’s just a fact this is not my president
A little soundtrack this is not my president
To sending him back this is not my president
