America, what the hell happened?
Could it be, we got caught napping?
While his tariffs keep overlapping
Is China’s market worth us scrapping?
Where in the world did we go wrong
Was it that we just went along,
With someone who appeared strong,
Like an old familiar song?

We’re not who we used to be
To the outside world that’s plain to see
We can’t sell them on being free
If it doesn’t apply to you and me
Strong men and dictators we embrace
We’re chartered members in any case
Of any leader that’s a disgrace
To the entire human race

It must be time to take our seat
Cuz everywhere we’re in retreat
It’s Soviet history that we repeat
When we choose to go down that street
See all of us should know the score
Because that movie’s played before
And if we choose to just ignore
Then Russia gives it to us raw

America start paying attention
We don’t need to defy convention
When it causes such dissension
And how come Putin’s who we’re Frenching?
See we should say,”Not so fast,”
And tell him to kiss our ***
But he doesn’t seem up to that task
Even though he’s been unmasked
