Drain the swamp
Looks like you could use a drink – I know that I could to
I know you’ll say anything just to get you through
You seem to think the world turns round you.
Questioning our motives with your snout in the trough
You know if you get caught-out, you’ll just laugh it off.
Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp
We’ve listened to you speeches but the meaning isn’t clear
Tidy your expense account, ‘cos election time is near
Tell the little people they’ve nothing to fear
The hypocrisy is tangible; your arrogance is real
Don’t listen to the people; just tell them how to feel.
Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp
(Gtr break over verse)
Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp
Got a taste for the good life – don’t care if it’s red or blue.
Just wheel out your straw men, they’re bound to see you through.
Weasel words don’t matter if you tell them they’re true.
You lied to the people to feather your own nest
Your arrogance is boundless – Nanny always knows best
Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp. Let’s go drain the swamp
