#charlatan
The President showed me I get to cheat and even lie. And if I do wrong no one Even gets to ask me why. The President showed me By not paying his bills That being honest is stupid And what’s important is my will. I don’t ever even have to keep Any promises I might have made. He’s the President after all And he has made the grade. So why should I work hard And pay for all I might get? He has never done that before And he hasn’t done it yet. The President showed me I get to get married some day And still sleep with hookers And be a good guy either way. The President is a fat man And sloppy when he dresses So, why should I have to diet And deal with laundry messes? The President also demonstrates It’s just fine to backstab friends Because the business of being rich Is where all friendships end. The President must be good guy He lives in a very fancy place And how can someone that rich Be a major public disgrace?

THE PRESIDENT SHOWED ME
You found me broken and in a mess You came in as if a traveling salesman You knocked on my chest to see if it was vacant You didn't take no for an answer You sold a potion I desperately needed Your compassion and love healed and rebuilt Your hands reassemble this skeletal mess Your eyes saw the best of what was inside Your teeth and tongue assuaged Your body so titillating Time passes . . . . . . . I no longer need the product that you were so adept at selling Always one step ahead In order to sell more I had to break down You secretly created tragedy You shakespearean You left me the way I was found You came knocking again You charlatan A fool and his money eh? Or is it me that is selling a product?

Programmed Obsolescence Pendulum
Donald Twittler, not a pretty picture Sees himself as some kind of king. Makes constant promises, Doesn’t know what integrity is, His word really doesn’t mean a thing. Donald Twittler reveres Adolf ****** Wants a Nuremberg rally of his own. He craves mass adulation From a battered nation From the mistakes that are his alone. Donald Twittler phones from the ******* Rages  online in the middle of the night. Each complaint anyone makes He claims they’re all fakes As if he's ever known wrong from right. Donald Twittler, the personification of a drifter, Has no relationship with the truth at all. Don’t bother asking why; He’s the best his Dad could buy, And he’s never had to be on the ball. Donald Twittler, a slimy sort of critter Gets climaxes from national attention. He has never had morals; Buys his way out of quarrels, If he had a soul it’s far beyond redemption. Donald Twittler, thinks he’s better than ****** And we should all kiss his big fat *** More than half of us disagree And urge him to quickly flee Because most of us would just as soon pass.

DONALD TWITTLER
All the people that surround me that suffocate my insecurities None of them with new faces just worn and weathered obscurities Just to notice that I'm here is to much for them to bare They point and judge and leave no one to spare I can't wear the mask they put on me I took off the shackles now I'm free No longer will the past taught my mind I see now without blinders but with this I see the genuine people are scarce to find I hope you will not be afraid because I'm not

Paper Mache Faces
He has a degree in bait and switch He’s a devious, deceitful sumbitch; He’s a human hound dog, A trash talking fat hog, Ready with a phony smile And he has been for a while. Happily taking britches off of ******* If she’s not too fussy with her ***** Because by gum and dagnab. That’s the first thing he’ll grab. As crazy as a lifelong ****** He thinks a nice guy is a loser. He reverses what he says each day And if you catch him he’ll always say He blames it on Obama and Jews, On Democrats and fake news. He changes his mind on a whim Thinks nobody is as good as him. We need to mention how ugly he got. His appearance seems to be all rot. He’s made of pure grease That keeps him so obese Still he claims he is as trim As guys half the size of him. He got started by his daddy’s dough Back a flashy half century or so He has very little taste Most of his life was a waste. Every business he touches Ends up walking on crutches. Why is his image with so secure? He’s not a decent man for **** sure. An adulterer and a predator Treats his wives like competitors Who are blocking his limelight And should be hidden from sight.

Street Cred
The Talking **** is babbling He’s not quite capable of reason. He’s busy patting his own back Every day, every month and season. The Talking **** is assuming As usual that we can’t think. But we know for a certainty That a talking **** still stinks. The Talking **** is promising All the miracles he will perform. He’ll take credit from others After all, that’s his norm. He’ll put down the good efforts Of those who came before Who actually did the good work While he worked on his golf score. The Talking **** is not required To make very much good sense. He has his Nazis beside him And a crowd of the politically dense. He says what he knows pleases Those who are not quite bright. He chants the hateful dogma Adopted by fools on The Right.

THE TALKING ****
I’m not going to make money by Creating some clever gadget. That costs too much for advertising To fit in my future budget. I’m not going to write a book yet Because they are hard to sell. I decided against self-help seminars. Sitting through those is hell. I’m not going to learn hairdressing So I can be a pricey hair ****** I’m not going to write recipes to show A hundred ways to use a blender. I ruled out auditioning for **** flicks I’m far to shy for all that. I won’t be trying to make viral videos Of adorable fuzzy little cats. You won’t be hearing any hit songs Written by me, myself and I. I can’t carry a tune and can’t rhyme So, right away I won’t even try. I can’t paint and I can’t draw at all So, I won’t be a world-class artist. I won’t become a rocket scientist In math I was never the smartest. I'm not going to start some con game And leave them all in the lurch. Well, in a manner of speaking I am, Because I'm starting a church. I’ll spend tons of money on my home And make a big flashy cathedral Then spend lots of time bragging How it’s all so very spiritual. People will send me lots of cash thinking. That will get them into heaven. I’ll make more money selling God to them Than owning a thousand 7-11s. I’ll only need to convince my followers that I have the get-out-of-hell-free card; That I am the path to understanding God And that just can’t be that hard.

MY PLAN TO GET RICH
Do you see that devil up there With the carefully arranged hair? Do you believe he cares about you? Don’t. Not a word of it is true. He is selfish and all he cares about Is what he can get for himself No matter what his followers shout. Doesn’t the fact that he chooses To berate, ridicule and scorn Serve to set up a huge red flag? Why doesn’t that serve to warn That you are in the presence of An evil not seen for a lifetime? Why aren’t you all looking around For someone to throw you a lifeline? I am sure Reagan taught you that Movie stars can be President And you have revered for years what Turned out to be a sad precedent. But now you have doubled your error, And you have all fallen with certainty, Under the bewitching spell of a Creature with nothing but celebrity. So, wake up children, if you all will Because this time you go to far. You have literally hitched your wagon To what amounts to a falling star. He lies, he cheats, he molests and swears And worst of all, none of you cares. You tells yourself you are a righteous soul Then bow to the devil with the orange hair.

DEVIL WITH THE ORANGE HAIR
I can’t believe many want us To starve, to sicken and die. I can’t believe they hate dark skin And I bet even they don’t know why. I can’t believe they think it is fine To tease friends who are different And that they hate women and claim What clearly is discrimination isn’t. I refuse to believe your insistence That you are a member of a church That is fine with blocking our laws And leaving the land in the lurch. I don’t accept the standard cant That all our young must go to war, Then watch people act as if veteran’s aid Is not part of what government is for. It hurts to hear that you hate welfare But gleefully grant it to the very rich And buy aircraft and warfare equipment As our highways fall into a ditch. It is far beyond shameful to see The number of our American cynics Who would vote for a liar, and a thief A draft dodger, a cheat and a bigot. What has happened that we got stupid Enough to not be able recognize A narcissist that is in it for himself Who is neither a statesman or wise? How sad it has become for this land The example of truth and wisdom Has pitched its camp with an uncaring fool And those who agree with him.

EULOGY FOR THIS LAND
Everything he says Comes out backward. Nothing about him Is really straightforward. It’s like he came here From Bizarro World. Both of the forks Of his tongue are curled. He makes our lives Like a lower rank of hell. You won’t want to buy A single thing he sells. You can figure out This reptilian guy Just expect everything He says to be a lie. If he says it’s a nice day Run for your umbrella. At all possible costs You should avoid this fella. And if you know someone Who tells you he is nice Run as fast as you can From them, take my advice. He has never been honest He has never even tried. You’ll quickly lose count Of the times he has lied. If you think for a second That he cares about you Believe me when I say It just cannot be true. Because the only person This guy loves is himself And he doesn’t give a **** About anybody else. Not his family, nor his wife Please be a believer. In truth, he doesn’t really Love himself either. His whole world is backward, What he hates describes him. He tells about how he is So handsome and slim. But actually he’s a tub of lard And socially quite awkward. But he doesn’t realize it. He is, after all, himself: Mister Backward.

MISTER BACKWARD
I wanted so much to like you; I had heard so much about you. Your show sounded like fun Sadly, too soon I had begun To listen between the lines To know you, see who you are To know behind the shallow mask To see the ugly stained star. I forgive myself for a bit of it Because I know that it was The method you always use. I would later guess the cause. Perhaps myself and others The countless clueless mass Mistook the rich and famous As people with any real class. I had to see the gaudy penthouse With gold used instead of chrome. I needed to see the fake opulence That you chose to be your home. I saw you hobnob with famous And calling them your friends Soon I would be let to see The photo was where it ends. So, I packed away any care for you And chalked it up to my youth. Little did I know right then I only guessed at half the truth. Because you put your skanky **** Into the presidential race And this latest **** of your ego Means I never stop seeing your face. Running for the highest office The leader of the free world Sure seems to have given Your screwy hair a different twirl. Suddenly you dragged out speeches Of Hiter, Mussolini and Stalin. You shouted the policies of the KKK And thew your vitriol all in. Since too many fools in America Started chanting Trump, Trump You seem to want to turn DC Into something like the town dump. As for me, I have trouble sleeping Worried your fans might be letting And idiot in charge of the nukes So he can bring on Armageddon.

There was an orange caveman Who made himself a fancy home. It was as glitzy as he could make it Using gold and fancy stones. He had enough wealth to Employ many starving slaves. He fed them as seldom as he could **** near from womb to grave. When he took folks to the top Of his ostentatious dwelling, You could swear within minutes You could hear his ego swelling. He had the softest of couches And lookouts over the land. He did his level best to be sure His caveman home was grand. His slaves would prepare for him The most lavish of repasts And guests were encouraged To dig in as long as it lasts. But at end of day all must Get the hell out of there. He always had a new young wife And he didn't like to share. But, somewhere along the tour He would keep some internal pledge And take you up to the top And point out a jutting ledge. He would comment on it's proximity To his bed for the middle of the night. He explained it was his privy Quite handy from this lofty height. He said only whites could use it, He was quite stubborn about that. Because the good people in life Must be careful where they sat. But he laughed at those below And made no attempt to hedge. He enjoyed the idea of their fate And what comes from the white privy ledge.

ORANGE CAVEMAN
He’s a spoiled rich kid In the land of the one percent. He feels no remorse for Those who can’t pay their rent. He’s popular with fools And a bunch of toothless boozers All the while laughing And calling them all losers. The favorite son of the GOP Says nothing with specificity. He just makes vague promises He has no idea what his platform is. He only knows if he stirs up hate He will win certain delegates. He won’t be held to the fire Half-truths work for him just fine. He’d prefer you not inquire. Nobody makes him toe the line. He is paraphrasing fascism Like he’s the one who invented it. It’s like Germany in 1930s They could have easily prevented it. The favorite son of the GOP Says nothing with specificity. He just makes vague promises He has no idea what his platform is. He only knows if he stirs up hate He will win certain delegates. Here’s the way to make it Work the best for a new dictatorship. You take the populace along On your traveling one-man ego trip After your party has published Scurrilous big lies about the opposition Then spread a lot more rumors Which gives the voters their ammunition. The favorite son of the GOP Says nothing with specificity. He just makes vague promises He has no idea what his platform is. He only knows if he stirs up hate He will win certain delegates.

You made me hate you. You must love to do it, You’re acting like you knew it. You made me hate you. There’s really nothing to you. You’re loathed by all that knew you. You are disgusting sometimes And times you’re worse. You really need drugs and A doctor and a full time nurse. You always lie so The truth seems to evade you. It’s like the devil made you. I wish you’d just frack off. Gimme, gimme, gimme What I long for A better kind of behavior I can’t write a song for. You know you made me Hate you!
