Lyrics:

I heard the news and i was sad
A crazy man who’ll power grab
He'll probably bomb countries unapproved, yeah
The debt will double - Won't abate

He'll build up the surveillance state
I guess it won't be all that different, ooh yeah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

He might be so awful, So unhinged
Defense Secretaries leave and then
Imply his White House knows not what to do yeah

He'll wage a war on whistle-blows
there may be unexpected gropes
He’d be that nightmare
They call “deja vu” yeah

Hallelujah
Hellelujah

He might take the data from our phones
Have citizens killed by flying drones
Mock the disabled oh no we'll be through yeah
So if you're mad and on the streets
Concerned about this overreach
Well where’ve you been
It isn’t all that new, yeah

But Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[jporras]

I don't know why it's taken me all these yrs to find you. I'm glad I did. I have watched most of your music videos today. Thank you. My day was great.

[LibertyEver]

Once again... THANK YOU REMY!

Also, see Julie Borowski's video about the return of the anti-war left now that the wars aren't Democrat wars.

[curioustgeorge]

that was way funnier than all the skits SNL did last weekend

[PGCodeRider]

Tragically funny. Good to have you back in top form Remy!

[jcb]

wow... scary the double-standard being applied now.

[indy_go_blue]

There's something terribly wrong with this song, for which you should be ashamed. It just isn't long enough. Terrific and thank you much; I'm posting the link on the IMDb politics board.

[joecoolmccall]

Does Remy have anything like a daily or weekly podcast?

I wish I could support and share this guys material easier.

[andreamiller]

OMG. Why did I not find you during the election?! Man, every video is gold.

[joshuamills]

When I'm upset or stressed, remy makes me giggle EVERY DAMNED TIME.

Thank you so much for that

[TolerablyInterested]

Looking retrospectively a few years on, this song is tremendously unbiased and correct, whether it is Obama, trump, or Biden in the US. Or whether it is Blair or Johnson in the UK. All national leaders are exactly like this, no matter what policy's they put in the manifesto you can guarantee they will do everything in this song.

[alvincay]

Better than SNL. Go Remy, of course.

[qqueuenstein]

The worst they can imagine is what is already happening. So blind; So delusional.

[Death_by_Tech]

Where’ve you been it isn’t all that new. Strong words right there

[Approx_]

hitting the nail on the head, one song at a time. Thanks Remy!

[bradleytaylor]

You foolishly assume the protesters care about anything other than feelings.

[KermodeBear]

Whelp, Remy was right about the debt. Not much the rest, but that's the way it goes.

[furtim]

There is a difference between Trump and Obama. Trump is like being hit in the head with a jagged rock, where Obama was more like being hit with a nice smooth river rock.

[rptucker]

Even the liberals with all their hate for Trump have to be kicking their own butts for voting for Biden about now. If not, they are truly blind. What a crap turn this country has taken. It will never be the same again and that is a very sad thing.
