All Talk, No Walk
They’re Still Here?

I said, “If Trump wins again I’m leaving here my friend
For a country somewhere that I’ll find”
My huffin and puffin was only me bluffin
Since nobody wants my behind
I’m very unhappy and just feeling crappy
My bluster was meant to deceive
I rattled my saber, said “Bye” to my neighbor
But never intended to leave
The nation has spoken, I prayed they were jokin
It’s a day to be red but I’m blue
My Party’s behind and I’m losing my mind
And behind has a terrible view
What Liberals are “for” we tend to ignore
It’s all about what we’re “against”
This stupid election has changed our direction
And now we’re completely incensed
The future looks muddled, our plans have been scuttled
We’re crying big crocodile tears
Now packing the court, I hate to report
Won’t happen for many more years
All this elation, reversing inflation
The oil industry, no longer bust
Is that enough reason, this election season
To remove all our Liberal rust
Executive orders protecting our borders
Reversals too numerous to tell
With plans to relax Social Security tax
Our country’s just going to hell
This time next election, I’ll plan a defection
Right now I’m where I’m gonna stay
If we lose another vote, I’ll go somewhere remote
And THIS time I mean what I say
