It’s ******’ outrageous
That they lock ‘em in cages
For seeking a better life
By escaping the toil and strife
Of the countries they come from
It’s a ******* conundrum?
Yet we know what he’s all about
‘Cuz we have him figured out

It’s ******’ outrageous
That our history pages
Don’t reflect our checkered past
Yet the dye’s already been cast
And the deck is stacked
As a matter of fact
Against folks of a darker hew
Than the ones that he’s talkin’ to

It’s ******’ outrageous
How advantageous
Life can be for a chosen few
While people like me and you
As a common preamble
Must learn how to scramble
In order to merely survive
For us to just stay alive

It’s ******’ outrageous
How ******* contagious
The man seems to have become
While beating his campaign drum
Red meat for his base
The insults encased
In a reality TV veneer
For those who gather to hear
