And He Lies to Us

(The poem can be sung to the tune of the hymn "He Walks with Me," as sung by Merle Haggard.)

 

We hear when Trump speaks on the news;

We're amazed at what he is saying.

But no fans believe how he can deceive

Those on whom he is preying.

 

And he lies to us and he cries to us,

"I am the greatest on earth!"

He is such a disgrace! How can his base

Ignore his full lack of worth?

 

He talks about helping us all.

That's not true; he's only pretending.

He would rather prop up those at the top.

His tales are never-ending.

 

And he lies to us and he cries to us,

"I am the greatest on earth!"

He is such a disgrace! How can his base

Ignore his full lack of worth?

 

Feel sorry for people who don't

See beyond the man's shifty notions.

Wait until they've learned how they have been burned.

He just goes through the motions.

 

And he lies to us and he cries to us,

"I am the greatest on earth!"

He is such a disgrace! How can his base

Ignore his full lack of worth?
