Tyranny - Dessa

The self-made man

With

the brand-name watch

The fame fever

And the fast lane pox

Crowns himself Caesar

And the known world scoffs

But if we can’t beat him

The whole thing’s lost

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

The oval office or the locker room

Water cooler gossip, propaganda, or the honest truth—

It all depends on who you’re talking to

The Paris Accord?

Fuck it, pardon my French, don’t really parlez vous

Cut the EPA

Edit a better hurricane

Keep Kellyanne just a call and a con away

Gut the fourth estate

(trad war!)

Yeah, of course mistakes wre made, paid for

By good people on both sides

So they got a torch and a chant and a hand sign

Our reports say we still got a chance at a landslide

You’re short on mirrors long on smoke—

All that

Hydroxychloroquine

cut with Diet Coke

Under oath and unprovoked

I think your dog whistle broke

Cause we can all hear it:

Post a white power clip claim you missed what they were cheering

Hearing’s fine, so you must be hard of spirit, running interference

Cap lock on

Spellcheck off

The Teflon Don

Gets his feelings hurt by basketball

United Nations gets a stand-up show

Your race relations is a taco bowl

This is not partisan;

I think reasonable people can disagree

But nobody stuck on a wall likes the way that things end

It goes:

«All the king’s horses and all the king’s men…»

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, Tyranny
