It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

There’s president Trump.

He’s been convicted.

A political attack.

I am conflicted.

He got an unfair trial.

Kangaroos in the court are running wild.

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

No accusation there is no crime.

Misdemeanors that are past their prime.

How can this situation even be.

A Frankenstein monster running free.

Using the system

As a weapon

Can’t you see

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

A crooked DA and biased Judge, conspired against Blind Justice because of a grudge.

All’s fair in love and war.

Now I wonder what is next in store?

Using the system

As a weapon

Can’t you see

It’s absurd

Right

User, user, user, user user

He’s a rocket that’s shooting high.

Into an orbit above the sky.

Add it up just to see.

Democrates don’t want you to live free.

Using the system

As a weapon

Can’t you see

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

It’s absurd

Oh

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah

Oh

Use the system, yeah

Use the system, yeah
