There are people in this world with more power than me
Who could take a real stand, could change the course of history
A congress full of cowards that could fix this mess
There must be patriotic heroes at the IRS
Somebody somewhere is staring at their screen
At a video file called Trump hotel.mov
And it’s my and i can’t just let this be
I’ve got a duty to this country, I know it’s up to me

I start to sweat, my vision starts to blur
I think about Apprentice tapes that hide Trump racial slurs
I think about terms of service and lies and threats
Fake news and insults as rotten as it gets
I think about Khizr Khan, I think about Sally Yates
I wonder to myself if I got what it takes
I feel like I’m choking, like my heart will explode
I think about Nazis and nuclear codes

And I do it
I hit suspend
Someone’s got to bring this twitter reign of terror to an end
I’m leaving anyway
So fuck you
I’m gonna do what Biz and Jack are too cowardly to do
11 minutes
that’s all we get
But that 11 minutes were just the fucking best
I’m leaving anyway
So fuck you
I’m gonna do what Biz and Jack are too cowardly to do

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
