[Tune: Uptown girl; songwriter Billy Joel]

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

Upside-down world

We are living in a messed up world

We’ve got a government that makes no sense

They lie incessantly and we know why

They will try anything

---

Upside-down world

They want to live in a “whites only” world

We watch as immigrants get shoved in vans

And Trump bombs or takes whomever he can

Ignore those children!

---

And people wonder why the hell this keeps going on

Each day we wake up to horrors from the Pentagon

We see that Hegseth’s not so tough

Blustering fool fronting is enough for the

---

Upside-down world

We see them work in this messed up world

Elites make policy with congressional pricks

Robbing the Treasury with tax haven tricks

You’ve got no choice

---

Oh, oh, oh, oh

---

Upside-down world

We know we can’t afford groceries or gas

Trump says it’s short lived, those tankers will come in

Hormuz will open but they don’t know when

But we will win!

---

Meanwhile there’s carnage and billions are spent every day

This war is costly but the Congress still has no say

Hegseth says we are tough

But Homeland Security is run by a plumber!

---

Upside-down world

Can we survive in this chaotic world?

Musk fired everyone with cred, oh man

No bench of expertise to form a plan

That’s where we are

---

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

Upside-down world, amoral sycophants

Trump loves his Fox hosts and fools, upside-down world

Trump loves his Fox hosts and fools, upside-down world
