Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues (Official Video) + some new lyrics




Caught myself thinking of this song and some new words for it last week, when it was going to be "Trump's In The White House Christmas Blues"... because I had them.

East Wing's now a basement
All our money misspent
Watch from the pavement
Wish we had a government
The fool wearing orange slop
Fake prez knockoff
Just a pig at the trough
Wants to sell it all off
Look out all
We need a recall
Very soon
Could we send him to the moon?
Or maybe Mars, it's what Musk says.
Lookin' for a new prez
The man with the built-up shoes
Tryin' to snooze
Seems to want a crown
If he wins then we lose

Unwell, ankle swell,
Has a dirty diaper smell,
Blowhard, Dotard,
Someone send him
straight to Hell
