[Verse]
Am G F Em
(x2)
Am G
Now when he was a young boy, Daddy said listen son
F Em
You’re stupid and you’re orange, But the lottery you’ve won
Am G
The world will be your oyster, If you act like you deserve
F Em
So get your ass a movin, If you have the nerve
Am G
Well he wasn’t good at classes, But his daddy was no fool
F Em
Called in all his favors, And Penn became his school
Am G
Fast forward four years later, He is dead last in his class
F Em
[Chorus]
(Play Straight, no Raggae)
C G Em F
Nothing ever is enough, Failing every way
C G Em F
Confident incompetence, Glaring every day
C G Em F
Empty-headed narcissist, He’s getting nothing done
C G F G
I can’t take any more…
[Verse]
Am G
Well he showed an eerie talent, For welching on big loans
F Em
And grifting his investors, Ran deep inside his bones
Am G
His failures they kept rolling, Like steaks and football teams
F Em
Chintzy-ass casinos, Killing hopes and dreams
Am G
Then lost in his delusions, Started spewing lies and hate
F Em
Came down the escalator, Caught a lucky break
Am G
Well he lost his last election, Blamed it on fake news
F Em
Botched his insurrection, Always finds a way to lose
[Chorus]
C G Em F
Nothing ever is enough, Failing every way
C G Em F
Confident incompetence, Glaring every day
C G Em F
Empty-headed narcissist, He’s getting nothing done
C G F G
I can’t take any more…
[Solo]
Am G F Em
(x4)
[Chorus]
C G Em F
Nothing ever is enough, Failing every way
C G Em F
Confident incompetence, Glaring every day
C G Em F
Empty-headed narcissist, He’s getting nothing done
C G F G
I can’t take any more…
