They've been pulling bait and switch since I crawled in Huggies why
Since my mom, smoking cigs ditching class in junior high
Since my gramps in Korea, spires aimin' at the sky
Radio subversive, playing Gershwin, Advertising Time
Larger than life outsider, creates a cult around him
Building a scapegoat ladder, steps on their backs for answers
Critics are marked sore losers, when he becomes the winner
Destiny dreams salvations, Raises his arm in celebration

Same shit different toilet, Same dog different fleas
Bang the drum, call it change, but it ain't new to me
Same joke different ruse, same tool different screw
New name same excuse
Don't let the long hair fool you, I still got a short fuse

Piston driven fear, over and over and over
Damnit, look at the boogie-man jumping the border
Look at the boogie-man's culture, damaging savaging color
Fight non-whiteness like this, right this, that's an order
Cuz you will march in place, when faith is no faith
When fixtures have displaced you and you feel you're bout to break
Then a firebrand man stands, simpler than the rest
The people's champ, ding ding ding, He'll make you whole again
Pick up your broken hearts he says and glue them back with hate
Pick up your broken hearts and we will make this country... great!

Same shit different toilet, Same dog different fleas
Bang the drum, call it change, but it ain't new to me
Same joke different ruse, same tool different screw
New name same excuse
Don't let the long hair fool you, I still got a short fuse

Sounds familiar? Sounds familiar?

Same shit different toilet, Same dog different fleas
Bang the drum, call it change, but it ain't new to me
Same joke different ruse, same tool different screw
New name same excuse
Don't let the long hair fool you, I still got a short fuse
