"It's you, Hi, You're the Problem!"

Tay-Tay's response to Elon Musk's Offer

Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift

When Musk found out that Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, he sent out this cringy ridiculous twit that is funny only in his own mind:

Tay-Tay is too polite and smart to respond to this type of baiting, but we all know that her best responses are in songs. With this one, it was too easy; her Anti-Hero song only needed a slight adjustment. Don't thank me, Taylor!

For those who don't know, I have included the original song in the cover image for this story.

Fake Hero

You always claim that you’re the savior, the one and only

Promises that you can't keep

You say you’ll guard my cats and fight for me (I have a boyfriend)

But you don’t care when I can’t sleep

You think you’re perfect and so righteous

But you’re the crisis, disguises

Twist every moment, lie (as old as time)

I wake up screaming and seething

One day I’ll see when you’re leaving

Cause you got bored of your preening

(For the last time)

***

It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you

At tea time, nobody agrees

You’d stare directly at the sky but never in the mirror

It must be draining always faking you’re the hero

***

You act like you’re some kind of martyr, a saintly figure

But you’re just hiding what you do

You said you’d give me what I wanted, protect my heartstrings

But all you’ve ever loved is you

Did you hear your twisted narcissism dressed up as wisdom?

Like some self-made king (tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming and seething

One day I’ll see when you’re leaving

‘Cause you got tired of deceiving

(For the last time)

***

It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you (You’re the problem, it’s you)

At tea time, nobody agrees

Why any woman would wanna give you yet another baby

When you're neglecting twelve living ones with three.

***

I had a dream that all your lies came back and crashed upon you

And no one’s buying what you sell

The people that you used and hurt are gathered ‘round and saying

He’s laughing up at us from hell.

***

It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you (You’re the problem, it’s you)

At tea time, nobody agrees

You’d stare directly at the sky but never in the mirror

It must be draining always faking you’re the hero

***

Another dream was of our daughter growing up to kill me

And no one was there to protect me.

The people that she used and hurt were gathered ‘round and saying

He must be proud of her, smiling up from hell.

***

It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you

It’s you, hi, you’re the problem, it’s you

It’s you, hi, nobody agrees, nobody agrees

It’s you, hi (hi), you’re the problem, it’s you (You’re the problem, it’s you)

At tea (tea) time (time), nobody agrees (nobody agrees)

You’d stare directly at the sky but never in the mirror

It must be draining always faking you’re the hero.
