lyrics

"Beach Haven ain't my home,
no, I just can't pay this rent.
My money's down the drain,
and my soul is badly bent.
You say Beach Haven's heaven
when no black ones come to roam.
No no no, Old Man Trump,
Beach Haven ain't my home."

Well, the son of Old Man Trump
took his daddy's million bucks,
Built himself a shiny tower
on the backs of immigrants.
He bankrupted casinos,
he'll never see a dime from me, though,
Oh no no, Old Man Trump,
Trump Tower ain't my home.

Well, Old Man Trump looked out one day
from his golden tower high
He fixed his gaze upon the one House
not even he could buy.
A black man in the White House
was more than Old Man Trump could stand
So so so, Old Man Trump
devised a wicked plan.

Old Man Trump went on TV
and called the President a fraud.
The poor white folks responded
like a whistle to a dog
Then Old Man Trump decided
he was the man for the job.
And the crowds all gathered 'round for
that old con man demagogue.

Old Man Trump buys politicians
Old Man Trump despises women
Old Man Trump is just a villain
from reality television (reality TV!)
Old Man Trump's shifting positions
with the bile his mouth is spittin'
No no no, Old Man Trump,
You will never be my home.

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
how much racial hate
he's exposed
when he re-drew
those color lines
But this land is yours
and it is mine.
It's yours and mine.

Old Man Trump is not our home,
no, we just can't pay that rent.
Our money's down the drain,
and our soul is badly bent, but
to Make America Hate Again
where no brown folks call their home
No no no, Donald Trump,
You'll never ever get my vote!

So the struggle, it continues
against the fat cats and the snakes,
the gangsters who would rob the world
Ol' Trump and all his hate.
But we heed the warning written,
scrawled on Woody's old guitar:
Because "This machine kills fascists,"
and THAT'S WHAT YOU FUCKING ARE.
