Help me understand
This in not a Muslim band
Against those from Muslim land
Whose skin is brown or tan?
Though they’re ones cited
To be held or not invited
To this homeland of the free
It’s a mystery to me

Help me understand
How the hatred that you fan
Across the desert sand
Can achieves objectives planned?
When your Islamaphobia
Has your enemies disrobing ya
About your claustrophobia
It's reminiscent of Cambodia

Help me understand
Assuming that you can
Show me that it’s other than
A straight up Muslim ban?
See the seven countries that you picked
Is why the notion clicked
They’re the ones that you constrict
With your macho fueled edict

Help me understand
Was your rollout planned
To show the world your backhand
It's sinking you like quicksand?
See the trust has been broken
And people have clearly spoken
Telling you that they’re heartbroken
But your answers are merely token
