The most deliberative body in the world no more
When Republican senators act like Trump whores
The big liar-in-Chief, the orange slob
Did like Cheney said
Summoned, assembled, lit flame to a mob
That stormed the Capital building
Broke windows, doors, and bones
Those bums took lots of selfies and posted macho brags
Are they proud of beating police officers with American flags?
Brave cops lost fingers, eyes, and lives
Lucky the bums didn’t bring guns
But they had stun guns, bats, and knives
As Congress tallied electoral votes
The building was breached through windows and doors
The VP was evacuated in haste
While the mob down the hall cried
“Hang Mike Pence, Hang Mike Pence”
“I can only lose if the election is rigged”
Trump said for months before the election
Liar-in-chief piled on the lies
The foundation for insurrection
The impeachment trial set out the facts
Don’s actions over time
Laid dangerous tinder for many months
Then lit the match for crime
As riot raged in the Capital building
The mob hunted for murder targets
Trump watched on TV, with evident glee
And made no move to stop it
Some Republican senators can’t judge Trump too harshly
Since they were complicit in the Big Lie policy
Maybe Ted Cruz grew a beard so he won’t have to look himself in the mirror as often
Hey Ted, I know you’ve got a fancy Ivy League degree
But the measure of a man starts with truth, can’t you see
House Managers, prosecuting Trump in the impeachment trial
Hammered home the awful truth, no defense could hide
To any impartial juror, ah, but politics, a strange ride
Republican senators, to King Donald’s robe cling
So afraid to hear the unemployment bell ring
They lacked the morals to uphold the truth
They lacked the courage to uphold their oath
So now the trial is over, Trump acquitted 2d time
43 of 50 Republican senators said no foul and no crime
Their responsibility was ducked
Welcome to the new standard for presidential conduct
You Republican senators who cower to Trump
Stop embracing the Big Lie
Donald Trump is not a hero
No need for more to die
Please senators, try some leadership
Get some backbone, stiffen spines
Start with truth, our basic need
And then the sun can shine
