The Lyrics

Down in Texas there’s a cunning native son
Gathering the gulled to sit around and pray.*
But we know that it’s a sham and just for show;
He’ll be running for prez any day.

Ain’t separation, ain’t separation
Of church and of state. . .
The creep’s congregation.

He perverts the name of Jesus ’cause he’s got a view
To a certain mansion in D.C.
We had a Tex gov and eight years of blight—
More “faith-based” far-right hypocrites we don’t need see.

Ain’t separation, ain’t separation
Of church and of state.
This creep run the nation?!

Had this hollow, exclusive get-together;
Pseudo prophets got up on the stage to bray. . .
Was nothing but a snakeoil medicine show,
Antithesis of the American way.

Back to the bad old days
If this false-prophet redneck from Texas strays,
Back to the bad Lone days. . . .


*Not hard enough to keep S&P, after helping cause the financial crisis of 2008 by awarding AAA to Lehman and other junk, from downgrading the U.S. credit rating.

Didn't this candidate also talk about separation (secession) from the Union. Not that I disagree with him on that. What if all 50 States seceded at the same time?
