Brainstem:

Now, the Republican American government officials,

Seem to have become sacrificial,

They made the country look so artificial,

Forgetting about when America was so rational and civil.

Donald Trump is becoming superjudicial,

Talkin’ bout rigged polls,

Not empty meal bowls,

Nor empty chairs at the table, when people died from the virus,

When there are 16 million people that covid has belittled.

​

They’ve been forgetting the rights of women,

And of our black brothers and sisters,

You know, doing that is like giving someone a blister,

Doing that makes you seem like a boa constrictor.

 

Don’t even get me started about the electoral college,

Because the idea of it is lacking in knowledge,

Because it fails to acknowledge that a state can be mixed Democratic and Republican.

So scrap those electoral votes,

So we can finally hit all of the right notes,

So we can count each vote, however remote.

And you know what would be real spectacular?

For you to use the vote that is popular,

Don’t let states vote,

Let people vote to promote.

 

And now we gotta talk bout’ the handling of the covid crisis,

Because this pandemic is unrighteous.

The president refused to help with this virus,

And money they denied us,

While coronavirus defied us.

Guys, look. The word “congress” comes from the latin words meaning meet, together, and walk.

Well, you guys met,

And you decided what kind of care package we would get.

Well, we’re really upset,

Because together you voted against it, without regret.

We can’t walk without nourishment,

Or talk about our opinions if we are dead,

Or when we’re wrought with discouragement.

 

See, whenever something like this happens, people are going to look up to the government for support. That’s why I suggest you elect officials who’re gonna keep people healthy, NOT give people gun rights,

I thought we wanted each state to be lively and bright!

Wanted each person to rise to their full potential,

And don’t tune out, this could be what’s essential;

If our government was so good, why are the covid deaths exponential!?

 

At least the legislative branch is a little bit better,

The House and Senate are comprised of people who work together,

They actually have brains!

But because of the drama, they’re at the end of their tether.

 

But why is it that complex to have your ideas heard?

Why does one president even have the power to just say, “Nope, veto,

Y'all, I think it’s time to do a deleto”?

What is the point of all this baloney?

Hey, government, treat us like humans,

We’re not your toys to manipulate,

America is not your site to excavate.

Look now. Don’t you see that it’s brimming with mistrust and hate?

We might as well rename it to the Squabbling States of America.

 

Mr. Trump, I have some things to say to you.

First off, oranges are fruits,

So your observations and pronunciations might not be acute.

And you really did say this; I have the quote right here:

“I hope they look into the oranges, the oranges of this investigation.”

And about your taxes, man,

Pay up, c’mon, adhere to the country’s plan.

Stop lying before you get banned.

You seem to use the word stupid a lot, and clearly you think it’s the best:

“I know words, I have the best words,”
But some would say that your words are rotten cheese curds.

“But there’s no better word than stupid!”

Pfft. Word salad.

Instead of “stupid”, you could say “dumb”,

Or “brainless” or “witless”

You certainly are careless,

And your empty lies are useless,

And your insults will be fruitless.

Mr. Trump, are you joking a joke? Lawsuits and recounts you invoke.

And whenever someone mentions your name I choke, (on laughter)

Because your antics

Look so comically frantic.

Did you know that loser.com redirects to your wikipedia page?

I bet that when you saw that, you raged.

Thank you for being such a good clown!

 

But it’s not even just him;

And it’s not even just his party’s whim;

The whole system is so messed up,

Government guys, fess up,

You were given too much power.

Michelle Obama, you were right,

All politicians do each day and night-

Is fight.
