Strike While the Iron is Hot

Pssst, we should strike

While the iron is hot

Hold another rally

Phoenix’s the spot

He needs the reassurance

He needs to be loved

He really doesn’t care

White supremacy

Is the buzz

Rile up the crowds

Scream and shout

“Vote 2020!”

Or Trump pouts

“Build that wall”

“Stop those drugs”

“Defend the white man”

“Against the thugs!”

Strike them

While the voters

Are hot

Rhyme and reason

They have not

They see red

Make America Great

Strike the voters

So they make

The same MISTAKE…
