Sensitive Topic: I understand there will be others with alternative views and I respect those, but I am only looking for feedback on the song itself, not a debate on the topic. Please respect my wishes.

[verse 1]

Friends feel the pain, stabbed in the back,

common foes, they're wined an' dined.

Falkland Island's fish, they're a threat,

either nuke' em, or sanctions are fine.

[verse 2]

Blind, to medics being murdered,

deport anyone, thinks that's unfair.

Tough luck, if Granny's sent to jail,

El Salvador's good, this time of year.

[chorus]

The Orange Man has a plan,

it's time, to settle the score.

till the U.S. is just a memory,

an' where, eagles fly no more.

[verse 3]

Russia invadin' others, well it's wrong,

Canada, well it makes a good state.

US takin' Greenland, well it just belongs.

Ukraine joinin' NATO, well they can wait.

[verse 4]

Whoa DOGGIE! you just can't do that,

Mr Musk says, the law's on his side,

Sackin' people, without a MAGA hat.

Trump's Pied Piper, will run an' hide.

[chorus]

The Orange Man has a plan,

it's time, to settle the score.

till the U.S. is just a memory,

an' where, eagles fly no more.

[bridge]

We'll bring in tariffs, so you pay more,

if ya not happy, we'll show ya the door.

Mexico, the E.U., even Canada too,

decided, we no longer need you.

[final chorus]

The Orange Man has a plan,

it's time, to settle the score.

till the U.S. is just a memory,

an' where, eagles fly no more.

[outro]

A global war, bigger than Yemen,

follow our plans, they're on C.N.N.

Tech Bro piggies, emptied the trough,

will the last to leave, turn the lights off.

  • you captured the sentiment really well. the only critique is that unfair and year doesn't really rhyme. but it works.. :)

    I absolutely love it! The lyrics are real talk and need to be said. I love truth even though many may get/be offended, it doesn't change it to untruth. The song is so amazing that I'm speechless and I can hardly put it into words.

    It's catchy and powerful. EXCELLENT songwriting. Well, done.

    10 out of 10 for me. I couldn't find anything wrong.

    I can't wait to hear more.

  • Well that's pretty much what's going on , though I don't follow the circus much


    Sounds good Sid

  • Lots of detail captured there! Clear message and viewpoint.

    "an' where, eagles fly no more." is a strong line, though maybe not harsh enough given the rest of the lyric.

    Well written.

    @bhengen, Thanks Bill, did note the unfair/year at the time but decided close enough was good enough.

    @TammyB, Appreciate your comments Tammy, if it touches a spot, it's done its job.

    @ElvisNash, Cheers Elvis, with events changing by the day, couldn't resist a commentary.

    @RainyDayMan, Many thanks RDM, got that out of my system, go back under my rock for a while!

    I think you and RDM both summed it up really well in unique ways. While RDM’s song was a bit more abstract and described the general malaise, to borrow Jimmy Carter’s term, this one just flat out lays out everything that’s going on and how messed up it is. Some people may not see it that way, as you acknowledge. Some people may see it very differently, but it’s impossible to deny that we’re going through a chaotic time right now. When you see it all laid out like this, it really drives that idea home. Even just setting politics aside, it’s a great lyric with plenty of strong imagery.

    Thanks Tommy, appreciate your words. My songs on political/societal/environmental issues are just me sounding off. That it paints a picture for you is all the recognition I need. My thanks again.

    Hi @sidshovel I really like this one. Your title reminds me of my own song that I'm currently working on called "Fly, Brave Eagle, Fly" that I will post shortly. Your is definitely more bravely outwardly political than mine though.
