He’s a man, just a man, a very very strange man making life frightening for the world.
VERSE 1 What did we do to deserve Don? He is a man, just a very strange man. He is not what I’d call A blessing at all — Yet his face is on everything now.
VERSE 2 What did we do to deserve Don? He is just one, yet he’s ev-ery-where, Lord. On the buildings and ties, On the steaks and the fries, And he’s shooting his mouth ’round the world.
CHORUS I don’t know how to stop him, He was always just… there. In my newsfeed, my nightmares, In my gold-plated air. Should I shout him? Should I flee him? Should I simply despair? He’s a man — he’s just a man — But he’s more than a man, If I trust the man’s hair.
VERSE 3 What did we do to deserve Don? He was sent, Lord — but sent here by whom? Did we covet too much? Did we lose touch? Now he’s taken the whole living room.
VERSE 4 He has slain ev’ry norm that we worshipped, He has kissed all our allies goodbye. Every blessing we built He has covered in gilt — Lord, we’re asking you plainly: Why?
CHORUS 2 I don’t know how to love this, Though I’ve tried — Lord, I’ve tried. Every value we stood for He has cast aside. Don’t you see that I’m frightened? Don’t you see that I’m through? He’s a man, he’s just a man — And we’re all in his hand — Lord, what did we do?
BRIDGE (spoken, gravely) We did this. We did all of this. We had warning signs. We had receipts. We had… the first term.
FINAL VERSE (soft, resigned) What did we do to deserve Don? He is here now, and here he will stay. ‘Til we find it in us To make all this fuss Mean something — on some future Election Day.
CODA He’s a man… He’s just a man… (pause) …isn’t he?
