(Melody: Auld Lang Syne)

By Laurie Baron

May the Epstein files be forgot,
And never brought to mind.
Winning wars to get oil.
Renders the public blind.

Chorus:

Petrol is why Trump fights,
Not to stop the flow of drugs.
Deflecting from his poor polls.
Kidnap a foreign thug.

May award jurors not forget. And learn to be more wise.
He invades what he dislikes.
Give him the Nobel prize.

Chorus:

Petrol is why Trump fights.
Not to stop the flow of drugs.
Deflecting from his poor polls.
Kidnap a foreign thug.

May past regime change be forgot.
It didn’t work out well.
Haiti, Libya, and Iraq
Descended into hell.

Chorus:

Petrol is why Trump fights.
Not to stop the flow of drugs.
Deflecting from his poor polls.
Kidnap a foreign thug.
