Lyrics

I had it up to here with the pro fear

Let's build a wall, steer clear of all the immigrants

'Cause they weren't born here

Ridiculous mentality like we got some ability

Just because our mamas pushed us out of the proper city

Raise your hand if you planned where you were raised

Did you choose who influenced you and paid for your school

And your food and your games and computer?

Was daddy a user, abuser, a loser

Or an angel or actor, a general or senator?

A two-time contender, put his life in a blender

And tell the world that it's yours but then you're just a pretender

When we're young and we're innocent all we do is surrender

And it shapes who we are but not who we'll be

I know what happened to you because it happened to me

So I'll be damned if a man made line in the sand

Excuses hatred and scams and racist government bans

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

I can't believe my eyes and my ears when I listen and see

These accusations this nation is spouting loudly on TV

It's a hell of a lot of smoke with no fire

Dear Mr. President, this is your conscience calling

Why don't you just retire?

Sell it all off as a joke, you're a liar, we know

Maybe the Russians fuck with you the way they rigged the votes

Do they have a tape on you in a Moscow hotel room

Watching young girls do all the nasty shit you pay them to?

It must be something 'cause no one in their right mind

Could be so reckless, narcissistic, and unkind

Raising taxes for the poor, shrinking national parks

Provoking nuclear war, being a white power spark

The list is long and it's just getting longer

Now Robert Mueller has a case that's just getting stronger

So after all of your drawl about building a wall

Congratulations, you get four with bars and no phone calls

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Dearest Donald, I know it's been a while since I wrote you

But life on the outside can get hectic

I suppose you think I'm trying to gloat

'Cause I'm the vessel that sank you

But Mr. Ex-President, I just wanted to thank you

Yes, you might be an illiterate, tax-evading, money-laundering

Crass-ass clown evangelist, racist, homophobic windbag

Squandering progress and hope with every step that you take

But sir, you exposed half the country for being fake

We thought we'd made it so far, we'd raised morality's bar

What an inspiration you are, you turned that light into dark

See, when they heard you, undeniable proof

The stupid shit they believed was undeniably true

For eight years we thought their kind had been shrinking

Maybe becoming extinct, least that's what Clinton was thinking

But you brought 'em back from the brink

They crawled from under their rocks

Like they forgot that the things they think don't make 'em cocks

So they started creeping and cheering and beating and cheating

And screaming hateful epithets like it was for a noble cause

But we could see 'em and track 'em and find 'em and enlighten them

Or simply catch 'em when they got violent or broke the laws

You did more for our country than anyone will tell you

Put a magnifying glass on all our problems and then you

Brought 'em out in the open and inspired the prophets

To fight for justice and hope and remove the crooks from office

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you

Build a wall, build a wall, that's what we gonna do

Build a wall, build a wall, build a wall around you
