Protest song by Simon Oak against the unpredictable and lawless behaviour of the USA’s President. The last line is a reference to one of Simon’s most favourite Irish songs. Recognise it?

Hello there, my friends, how are you keeping?

May the songs never end, no time for sleeping!

Fill up your glass and listen to my tale

Of how bad things will pass and big men will fail

 

When I was young and chasing the ladies

I met a millionaire’s son, so funny and crazy

By nature bully, a lover of bad jokes

Always spending fully, borrowing and broke

 

Then a real-estate don, he never liked working

Prowling high echelons, bootlicking, lurking

Promising specials, delivering off-the-shelf

A donna by his side and in love with himself

 

And he loves to be unpredictable

Unpredictable, unpredictable

Funny … and crazy like hell

 

Then he couldn’t resist the voice of the survivor

My life took a twist when he told me “You’re fired!”

Now I can’t stop thinking, had I flattered him more

I’d now be much safer behind his bunker door

 

Now he’s Commander in Chief of the proud US Army

No need to believe they ever will harm me

But he jokes and he bullies like never before

Enjoys to be ruling the whole world by force

 

 

Wise people confound him, he hates noble reasoning

Sly chancers around him know how to please him

History provides us examples by the score

They’re not even hiding their ambition of war

 

They say “we fight to win”, and make us complicit

We’re already in it, you’re blind if you miss it

A matter of choices, hear what I say

Come, raise our voices to stop the USA

 

And he loves to be unpredictable

Unpredictable, unpredictable

Scary … and crazy like hell

‘Cause he’s batshit crazy like hell

 

Whatever he destroys, he’ll soon go down with it

With his Proud Pussy Boys, his allies halfwitted

May Armageddon be quick, and if we survive

I’ll dance a hearty jig to celebrate life.
