Everyone Knows

Donald Trump as a court jester

Everyone knows there’s a problem
But how in the hell did it happen?
Democracy’s wheel is starting to squeal
Under the weight of the ambition

Everyone knows

Everyone knows, of the madman
But, the will of the crowd has spoken

The word of the chief,  Is hard to believe
Maybe the job is out of his league?
Heading toward an implosion

Everyone knows,

When the truth is too much trouble
Find someone who’ll agree
When history’s gone 
You just make your own
And the salesman,  
Keeps on smiling

Everyone knows,

Everyone knows, there’s problem
The rules that we learned, are broken

A knife in the back, or a missile attack
The will of the world is starting to crack
The man of no mind is not woken
 
Everyone knows,

And the song of the bird was troubled
Decisions are made in a dream

The fabric is torn
Patience is worn,   
And the salesmen
Keeps on smiling

Everyone knows,
Everyone knows,
there’s a problem
Everyone knows.
