We can believe
That he has a need
To prosper and succeed
So we should follow his lead
And judge him by his deeds
Not his inner circle choices
That’s causing panic
And raised voices

We can believe
What we couldn’t conceive
On the election eve
Now that he’s achieved
Pulling the rabbit out his sleeve
Now comes the reaction
On the nation’s streets
From the various factions

We can believe
Even those who are peeved
There’s no cause yet to grieve
But let’s not be naïve
And say we’ve been deceived
When we know that it’s a weave
On his head
You best believe

We can believe
That he’ll get the heave
On new year’s eve
Without the reprieve
He expects to receive
If he doesn’t deliver
The things that he said
Then his presidency
Will be all but dead
