As You speak of patriotism

What would you know?

Its really all about you, that’s narcissism

You refer to the flag and Star Spangled Banner and its symbolism

Yet you skipped on Vietnam, equating it to safe sex, on Howard Stern’s show

As You speak of patriotism

You dictate to us, on what to do, that’s authoritarianism

For you, this is a reality show

Its really all about you, that’s narcissism

You admire Vladimir Putin, do you prefer communism?

Do you think this is our first rodeo?

As you speak of patriotism?

Every act you display reeks of racism

Especially with the pardoning of Joe Arpaio

Its really all about you, that’s narcissism

Lights! Camera! It’s sensationalism!

Maybe its time for a variety show!

As you speak of patriotism

Its really all about you, that’s narcissism
