You're My Man

D.J.T. to world autocrats:

"If you can rule with an iron fist

And get your critics to cease and desist

By forceful means--get the gist?--

Then you're my man.

"If you have got the strength and power

To make the wondering masses cower,

And if you'll let me build my tower,

Then you're my man.

"If you know how to control elections

And put down those who raise objections

Because you've got the right connections,

Then you're my man.

"If you get people to misconstrue

Deceitful things you say or do

'Cause you've got people who'll lie for you,

Then you're my man.

"If you know how to ride roughshod

Over the rules to get the nod

For finance and insurance fraud,

Then you're my man.

"If you know how to blast and blame

To make divide and conquer your game,

And deception is your claim to fame,

Then you're my man.

"If you can win through populism,

Get away with nepotism,

And stoke the fires of nativism,

Then you're my man.

"If you know how to cleverly make

Your trusting fans give you a break,

Despite the fact that you're a fake,

Then you're my man.

"If you know how to work it right

And let yourself be full of fight

So you can gain more power and might,

Then you're my man."
