Well, c’mon, all you MAGA men

Ole Donnie Trump’s in trouble again

He’s tryin’ to fill a big oil can

So forget America — first Iran!

Just drop your podcast, fly a drone

There’s liberal clerics there to own

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

Well, Donnie says the past ten years

These migrant bums been fixin’ spears 

They eat our cats, they eat our dogs

They even eat our pedagogues

They’re from the belly of the beast

So help him bomb the Middle East

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(3)

Well, c’mon, all you Technocrats

You sure don’t have to hold your hats

Ole Donnie needs your toys of war

To feed the rich an’ starve the poor

There’ll be a feast flown in from Spago

An’ dancin’ soon at Mar-a-Lago 

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

Well, Donnie says there’s tons of trans

In women’s sports, not in the stands

There’s trans inside our transportation

In transcendental meditation 

So if you want a girl an’ not a…

Let’s put an end to the intifada

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(5)

Well, c’mon, all you Lindsay Grahams

Who lust for power, turn to lambs

When your leader leads you off to slaughter

You lick the dirt as if it’s water

An’ now Ole Donnie’s gift to you

Is a desert throne in Timbuktu 

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(6)

Well, Donnie says our golden age

Looks like America out its cage

There’s no more censorship or woke

Or people who can’t take a joke

An’ the world he’ll manifest to cheers

Is the destiny of all hemispheres

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(7)

Well, c’mon, all you Crypto Bros

Who bet the Polymarket knows

Who’ll be the first in war to fold

The blockchain’s sure your pot of gold

But heed the things Ole Donnie’s coined

For fools an’ money’ll come unjoined 

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(8)

Well, Donnie says a master builder

Wouldn’t have sold Manhattan for just a guilder 

He’d a done a deal if he lived then

The biggest deal that’s ever been

An’ lived a lord along Fifth Ave

Not wantin’ what other countries have

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates

 

 

(9)

Well, the oil fields are finally hit

An’ the rains come down like burnin’ spit 

But while they’re dodgin’ drops of cancer

Them Ayatollahs have to answer 

Ole Donnie’s terms for their surrender: 

An unconditional, never-ender

 

It’s war, war, war

We better start fightin’ for

All the big towers dreamt up in Donnie’s new plan

The next nation buildin’s “Trump Tehran”

 

An’ it’s war, war, war

Open up the pearly gates

Oh, we got a penthouse comin’ — invite the mates!

Jeffrey Epstein gonna bring up our dates
