Deregulation

Deregulation.

Deregulation.

That's what Trump says

Is going to save the nation.

 

To hell with the environment

And social media activist memes.

Let the coal industry dump

Coal debris in rivers and streams.

 

Forget greenhouse gas emissions.

There are rules to rearrange,

Repeal, expunge, delete, rescind…

Who cares about climate change?

 

Good-bye to banking restrictions.

Give tighter controls the ax.

Down with all consumer protections!

Three cheers for Goldman Sachs!

 

Who needs the EPA?

Why do all the activists seethe

When factories pollute the air?

The air is JUST something we breathe.

 

Caveat emptor--

That's the rule that's going to last.

Caveat venditor

Will become a thing of the past.

 

Benefiting the 1%

Has to be a worthwhile goal.

How else will those at the top

Keep the people under control?

 

Through rollbacks in regulations

Runs one common thread:

Relief for the corporations;

The rest of us can all drop dead.

 

Deregulation.

Deregulation.

That, according to Donald Trump,

Is going to save the nation.
