How to Muddy the Waters

While you're being investigated,

If "witch hunt" is often repeated,

Your eager-to-please fan base will say,

"Oh, poor guy. He's being mistreated!"

 

Maintain the false allegation

That during your election campaign

The FBI "spied" on you.

America's loss will be your gain.

 

Spread distrust of our institutions.

Just repeat lie after lie,

And fans will scarf it down as though

It's honey falling from the sky.

 

Although a foreign country assisted

Your campaign, cause confusion

By fervently repeating the words

"No collusion. No collusion."

 

Conspire with any members of Congress

Willing to sell their souls to the devil.

Your shared obstruction of justice will give you

Success in which you later can revel.

 

Discredit the media and call them fake

When you dislike what they're relaying

So people in your echo chamber

Won't believe what reporters are saying.

 

Say that the truth is relative;

Raise doubt in what's true and real.

Do whatever it takes to cover up

Everything that you want to conceal.

 

It's so easy to muddy the waters.

Getting ratings: that is the key.

Generate conspiracy theories.

Create your own reality.
