Tyrannosaurus Rex
Coming soon to a state near you
Draw up an enemies list, and shout it out loud
Declare: You’re with us or against us all somehow
No longer rule for all, but just those who
Yes, those who bow down become the chosen few
Oppose dissent with threats, with fear of force
Then crush, erase, or exile the alternate voice
Condemn the press - declare it an enemy
Say truth is fake, and facts are treachery
Tyrannosaurus Rex
They say he's a fuckin' king
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss the ring
Destroy all trust or seize it for your aims
A mouthpiece for the state, a tool to numb the brain
the biggest lie is best, lie and lie again
Who would be so bold as to say the totally insane?
Reject all facts and conjure myths instead
Replace hard reality with fiction’s pleasing glow
Deny the laws of nature, scorn the proof
And fill the void with rage and a fear to know
Tyrannosaurus Rex
He's a fuckin' king
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss the ring
With whispers cloaked in robes of white
Make faith a sword to sanctify the right
Corrupt the courts - delegitimize the bench
Appoint the loyal, put in the monkey wrench
No law should remain, except that serves the state
No law should remain unless it yields its share of hate
Proclaim your acts are lawful, just, and suss
Then blame the judges who try to make a fuss
Tyrannosaurus Rex
He's a fuckin' king
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss the ring
The civil branch is captured, bent, and caved
The soldiers, spies, and clerks become your slaves
Let cameras peer through glass and skin and brain
Let those who speak be watched, and fear remain
Every journalist has become a spy
Each protester, a traitor telling lies
Every artist, a villian to be suppressed
Every grifter, an artist to be blessed
Tyrannosaurus Rex
I'm the fuckin' king now, bitch
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss the ring
The weak must bear the weight of all your greed
So vilify the outcast and the poor, those in need
The foreigner, the queer, the trans, the maimed
The ones whose voices are shamed
Blame them for all the rot within the state
Inflame the hate that festers in your wake
Let rights be stripped beneath your party name
Let science yield to dogma, politics the same
Tyrannosaurus Rex
He's a fuckin' king
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss the ring
Make women know their bodies are not their own
Their rights revoked, status of breed stock invoked
The state decides; the church of Trump will guide its hand
A silent womb becomes a nation’s last stand
Suppress the vote through lies and fraud declared
Cry “Stolen!” though the law has spoken clear
Demand recounts where none are rightly due
Bring lawsuits without a shred of merit due
Tyrannosaurus Rex
You're done now, sucker, I'm in charge
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss my large
Make ballots scarce, make waiting long and hard
Draw lines to slice the communities apart
Let the votes be counted, finally, only to be ignored
And a last stand for Custer at Little Big Horn
Power is the only truth that stands
And hold it fast, by any means you can
Erase history so no one can know in school
There was once a time when you did not rule
Tyrannosaurus Rex
He's a fuckin' king
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Go bow down and kiss that sucka's ring
