All Proceeds Will Be Donated to Vote Save America. "Be A Voter. Save America." VoteSaveAmerica.com

This song was a true gang effort. A bunch of my friends from Philadelphia and Brooklyn joined in for the cathartic bellowing and their kids close the song reciting an alternate pledge of allegiance for our current alternate reality. Please take a gander at the credits below the lyrics to see all the talented folks involved.

If any of the lyrics are offensive to you, my sincerest apologies. But as
Howard Zinn famously said, "You can't be neutral on a moving train."

My Very Best To You and Yours. And vote, vote, vote!
Neil

lyrics

I don’t trust me no maskholes
Opinions are like assholes
Guess your mama never taught ya son science is facts
Just can't wish 'em away, bring the economy back

In the Trump trolling maskholing USA
Where we make up the truth and make America great
In the corporate thieving, mouth breathing USA
We got the right to kill, it's the American way

I don't trust me them straw polls
Opinions are like maskholes
Don't need Nate Silver to tell ya girl, they're gonna vote red
Just can't just sit on your couch, chew on your nails in dread

In the Trump treason, Putin scheming USA
Where Facebook groups, make America red
In the narcissistic, jingoistic USA
Where we suppress our votes, it's the American way

Remember after 9/11 George Bush said we should shop
To get down there to Disney World, enjoy and spend a lot
And here we are two decades gone, one more Republican
Presidential cartoon man, the electoral college voted in
They Ponzi up our hard earned dough to Fat Cat Welfare Kings
And it's not like Obama didn't do the same damn thing
But I digress, our time is now, to get out to the polls
To send a big fat message to the murderous maskholes

In the pro-life, maskholing USA
Abortion's a sin but killing gramma's OK
In the cop beating, racist leaning USA
Gestapo border patrols will come and take you away
In the student loan indentured servant USA
Where free tuition once made America great
In the Eisenhower nightmare USA
The military industrial complex raves
In the Big Pharma side effect USA
Ain’t no health care for all but rectal bleeding’s ok
In the Trump toxically moronic USA
Climate change is a hoax, oil and coal seize the day
In the Trump trolling, maskholing USA
Where we make up the truth and make America great
In the corporate thieving, God fearing USA
There’s a price on your head, and there’s hell to pay
There’s a price on your head, and there’s hell to pay
We gotta vote them out on Election day
Record voter turnout on election day
McConnell is evil, yes Election Day
Yeah one more thing, fuck the NRA
Oh wait, two more things, fuck the KKK

This is Trump’s shithole country, you’re just living in it

I pledge allegiance to the man
To the United Corporations of America
And to the banana republic for which it stands
One abomination under God
Divisible, with ignorance and injustice for all
Amen
