Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Video) + some new lyrics [View all]

Caught myself thinking of this song and some new words for it last week, when it was going to be "Trump's In The White House Christmas Blues"... because I had them.

East Wing's now a basement
All our money misspent
Watch from the pavement
Wish we had a government
The fool wearing orange slop
Fake prez knockoff
Just a pig at the trough
Wants to sell it all off
Look out all
We need a recall
Very soon
Could we send him to the moon?
Or maybe Mars, it's what Musk says.
Lookin' for a new prez
The man with the built-up shoes
Tryin' to snooze
Seems to want a crown
If he wins then we lose
