Out of his mind – The ballad of the independent voter

[Tune: Gentle on my mind; Songwriters: John Hartford, sung by Glen Campbell]
It's seeing that your words are always lying
And your thoughts make bungled talk
That makes me want to leave your rallies early
Toss my MAGA red hat out
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By your crazy claims and rants
And the slurs your pour on migrants of all kinds
That keeps you on the back foot with the voters who can see now
You’re clearly out of your pathetic mind
It's not clinging to your fearful slogans
Planted on Truth Social, they don’t bind me
Or something that some loony said
Because they thought some pets Haitians were stalking
It's just knowing that the world will be both cursing nor forgiving
If I walk into the voting booth and find
That I voted for a madman despite his machinations
Cause Trump you’re out of your pathetic mind
Though the ghetto and the rust belt
And the junk told on Fox News tries to divide us
There’s some woman cryin’ to her mother
'Cause her mama’s cherished rights had gone
I cannot keep my silence, he’s a threat to all our values
And while the backlash hate will burn - it’s so unkind
But not to where I cannot fight
Standing up for freedom
Since the GOP has lost its goddamned mind

"And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By your crazy claims and rants..." - Love this
