Since the brain-drain, the White House Oval can’t speak paragraphs
King’s COVID con is “I was fast” when he was slow
Hydroxychloroquine will make him dough
Daily King shit show!

On the corner is an A-T-M that won’t give cash
She only asked for what she needed to get by
Nasty banker questioned “Are you high?
You’re a no account, you don’t count.”

Plenty Pain: We can hear small biz owner’s cries
Cash to corp’rate friends and King’s allies
He’ll fight all oversight

Hard to explain, there is a jobless man just been relieved
This former Captain asked a question of his King
“My crew is dying, would you mind helping?”
He regrets ass-King

<Trumpet Solo>

Plenty Pain can be King size, jesters advise
If the camera’s on, facts trumped by lies
“On your own”, no surprise
