Church backdrop for photo op
Erased protesters using photoshop
I hear, “Daddy, in my purse, this book.” Oh look — Bible prop!

You all know that hiding in a bunker from peaceful protests
Isn’t cowardice, my pants were pissed
Survived bone spurs — only then to fill my diapers
Black men outside, I knew I must hide

If you’re white and if you’re straight
You support me when I say “Dominate!”
Secret forces on frontlines, carbines
Landmines, Police State

<Guitar solo>

Church backdrop, photo op, look at me wave this Bible prop
Pop-Pop-Pop, screams won’t stop, ooh

You all know that “vicious dogs and ominous weapons” are us
“When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
I’d unify, but I’m still the racist guy
Who thinks the Central Park Five, should not be alive
