lyrics

True, they left ya blue
Hauled off with nana
And papa, too!
Ain't suncast specters
Out near Nevada
Just mass graves for geriatrics
And the purged Benghazi data
"Connie's new curriculum
Lists jihad next to mathematics"
"Well, little Bobby, turned queer and commie,
Now Janet and Bob Sr. clutch their King James in the attic"

Excess of time? Burdened!
Keenly observant? Burdened!
Ignored prescience? Fucking burdened!
But little men mind very little
What's big around with hollow middle?
A burden in excess of hope

True, they left ya blue
Hauled with nana
And papa, too!
Ain't suncast specters
This side of the border
Just mass graves para trabajadores
Seeking five and a quarter
Will tomorrow look back fondly
When today's spent spitting forward?

What's big around
With hollow middle?
The past despairs! "Beware:
The Humbuh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-bug!
The Humbuh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-bug!"
What's big around
With hollow middle?
The hoax of hope

Explanation:

Conspiracy theories have surrounded ol' Barry O since his election in '08, but his grand designs for septuagenarian death camps, turning white children into gay, Bolshevik, atheists, and implementing Sharia law have largely taken a back seat to reality. His administration has deported more people than his reviled Republican predecessor; expanded drone operations in the middle east; overseen and extended inherited military occupations while initiating brand new ones; given military, material, and political support to right-wing leaders with ties to Reagan's death squad day; remained limp as police have continued their war on the black community; and violence against women, POCs, and the LGBTQ community has continued unabated. This is the legacy of Hope.
