Lyrics

The president is threatening us
In his bright red tie
He's in the oval office
Like a pig inside a sty

I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
I know you're out there
When I hear the word 'Democracy'
I reach for my headphones

He's radiating hatred
From each presidential pore
How does he come to rule this land?
Who does he rule it for?

You know I'm out here
But you can't see me, darling
You know I'm out here
When I hear the word 'Security'
I reach for my cell phone

Whoa-whoa-whoa...

He's holding up the Bible
While the rubber bullets fly
He's holding up the Bible
But he cannot quote one line

I know you're out there
I know you're out there somewhere
God knows you're out there

I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
I can almost hear it raining
