[Donald Trump:]
"As an example, your ... CNN. I mean it's story, after story, after story is
bad. I won. I won. And the other thing: 'chaos' - there's zero chaos. We are
running - this is a fine-tuned machine..."

[Verse]
Em The goose has gotten Cfat
On C/Bbcaviar and fancy bars
And Bsubprime loans, and broken homes
[Verse]
Is Emthis the life, the holy Cgrail?
It's C/Bbnot enough that we succeed
We Bstill need others to fail
[Verse]
DmFear, fear drives the mills of modern Bbman
Fear keeps us all in Abdimline
AFear of all those foreigners, fear of all their A7crimes
[Verse]
Is Dmthis the life we really Bbwant?
Abdim It surely must be so
For Athis is a democracy and what we all say goes
[Interlude]

[Verse]
And Cmevery time a student is run over by a tank
And Abmaj7every time a pirate's dog is forced to walk the plank
Gbdim7Every time a Russian bride is advertised for sale
And Gevery time a journalist is left to rot in jail
[Verse]
CmEvery time a young girl's life is casually spent
And Abmaj7every time a nincompoop becomes the president
Gbdim7Every time somebody dies reaching for their keys
And Gevery time that Greenland falls Gaugin the fucking sea it's because
[Verse]
CmAll of us, the blacks and whites, Chicanos, Asians - every type
Of Abmaj7ethnic group, even folks from Guadaloupe, the old, the young
Gbdim7Toothless hags, supermodels, actors, fags, bleeding hearts
GFootball stars, men in bars, washer women, tailors, tarts
[Verse]
CmGrannies, grandpas, uncles, aunts, friends, relations, homeless tramps
Abmaj7Clerics, truckers, cleaning ladies, ants
Gbdim7 Maybe not ants (Why not ants?) Well, because it's true
The Gants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between
[Verse]
The Cmpain that other people feel and well, for instance, cutting leaves
Or Abmaj7crawling across window sills in search of open treacle tins
So Gbdim7like the ants, are we just dumb? Is that why we don't feel or see
Or Gare we all just numbed out on reality TV?
[Verse]
So Cmevery time
The curtain Abmaj7falls
Gbdim7Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
It Gis because we all stood by silent and indifferent
It's Cmnormal!
