About a wretched human being that got elected.

The Emperor's Clothes
Jeff Roberts Copyright 2017

i just heard the news did you hear it?
right from the horses mouth can you feel it?

all the things that are happening here in this town
it's enough to bring a good man down
but I'm hanging around
to see the last of the clan defeated

step right up get in line enjoy the show
you've never seen anything as fine as the emperor's clothes

take a look outside you're a lucky man
you know you're never gonna buy more time
with the best of plans it's falling sand
start picking your head up when you get up in the morning sun
start living with a litmus mind just get behind the man with the gun

wait now the story's changing minute by minute
we were just joking well you just don't get it

do I have to remind every south bound horse has a northern side
I'm back here with the kitchen help
'cause they're keeping a taste right there on the shelf
we won't live to regret it cause we won't let it take away our soul & pride
and I'd say the chances of a lightning strike are getting pretty high

what will you do when we find out the truth
and decide to make a lasting example of you?
