Tariff Riot
He stands at the podium,
waving a pen, Lying right back to the working-class men!
"The border is blocked,
and the tariff is king,
And Beijing is paying for everything!" He thinks that a tax is
a check from abroad,
A billionaire baby, a silver-spoon fraud!
He doesn't know customs,
he doesn't know trade,
Just bleeding the suckers the country was made!
You pass on the bill to the docks and the port,
While the whole administration turns out to exhort!
The importer pays, and the retail price climbs,
A masterclass built on historical crimes!
Collect the toll!
Let the consumer bleed!
Feeding the tariff
to cover the greed!
He thinks China writes checks at the end of the day,
While the American worker is forced to pay!
Tariff the ocean, tariff the sky,
Built on a mountain of televised lies!
Lighthizer’s drafting the numbers in red,
While the supply chain is thrashing and choking in bed!
Navarro’s equations are missing a brain,
Spinning up charts on a sinking-ship train!
You slap thirty percent on the steel and the grain,
Then blame it on others to cover the strain!
It's a wealth transfer masked as a patriotic test,
Robbing the south to enrich the depressed!
Look at the genius,
staring right through... Cluelessly passing the bill onto you.
He thinks it’s a tribute paid by the crown,
As the grocery shelves and the ports go down!
Collect the toll!
Let the consumer bleed!
Feeding the tariff to cover the greed!
He thinks China writes checks at the end of the day,
While the American worker is forced to pay!
Tariff the ocean, tariff the sky,
Built on a mountain of televised lies!
Who pays the tariff?
(You do!) Who pays the tariff?
(We do!)
