Lyrics

Spoken Word

Hello America

Now let me be clear

We are living through a time of deep consequence

But I look at the current occupant of the Oval Office

And I have to ask myself

What on earth is going on over there

Verse 1

RAP

Mic check for the man with the plan from Chicago

Weight of the world but I never let the bar go

Red ties

Lies

Golden towers built on a foundation of sand

I am watching a reality show dismantle the land

Hope was the mantra

Change was the mission

Now we got a captain with a blurry vision

He is tweeting in the morning while the coastlines rise

Selling us a script full of curated disguise

Focus

Hocus pocus

The rhetoric is toxic and the facts are thin

I am wondering how the hell did we let him in

Chorus

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

Verse 2

Policies written on a napkin in the dark

Leaving every single bridge with a burning spark

Health care

Nightmare

I built a floor so the people wouldn't fall

He is obsessed with the height of a concrete wall

Borders

Orders

Chaos in the cabinet and a revolving door

The working class is crying out for something more

I gave you a recovery

I gave you a start

You took the whole engine and you ripped it apart

Hard truth

Lost youth

Looking at the map and it is turning deep blue

Because nobody knows what you are trying to do

Chorus

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

Bridge

The office is a burden not a brand to sell

History will judge if we handled it well

The office is a burden not a brand to sell

History will judge if we handled it well

I am looking for the leader

I am looking for the light

I am looking for the reason

Verse 3

Golfing on the weekend while the fire gets hot

Thinking that the presidency is a vacant lot

No plan

No man

Just a lot of noise and a fragile ego

Where did the dignity and the honor go

I see the division

I see the hate

I see the wreckage at the garden gate

Suit up

Boot up

The clock is ticking and the pulse is weak

The outlook for the future is looking pretty bleak

Check the stats

Check the math

Check the path

You are losing the thread and you are losing the race

While you are staring at a mirror in a velvet space

Chorus

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

What are you doing with the seat

What are you doing with the power

It is getting late in the hour

Outro

Yes we can

But did we

I guess we will see

Fading out now

God bless America

Peace
