Lyrics
The self-made man
The individual who has achieved success on their own
With the brand-name watch
Possessing a watch with a well-known brand name
The fame fever
An obsession with fame
And the fast lane pox
Facing the negative consequences of a high-paced, hectic lifestyle
Crowns himself Caesar
Declares himself as powerful and dominant
And the known world scoffs
The established world dismisses or ridicules this assertion
But if we can't beat him
If the opposition can't defeat him, everything is lost
The whole thing's lost
Highlighting the critical nature of overcoming the self-made man
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
Repetition emphasizing the theme of tyranny
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-The oval office or the locker room
Contrasting powerful spaces such as the Oval Office and the locker room
Water cooler gossip, propaganda, or the honest truth
The interpretation of information depends on the perspective
It all depends on who you're talking to
Truth is subjective and varies based on the audience
The Paris Accord? Fuck it, pardon my French, don't really parlez vous
Dismissal of international cooperation, expressed with a touch of sarcasm
Cut the EPA
Critique of political decisions, media manipulation, and divisive tactics
Edit a better hurricane
-Keep Kellyanne just a call and a con away
-Gut the fourth estate (trade war)
-Yeah, of course mistakes were made, paid for
-By good people on both sides
-So they got a torch and a chant and a hand sign
-Our reports say we still got a chance at a landslide
-You're short on mirrors long on smoke
-All that Hydroxychloroquine cut with Diet Coke
-Under oath and unprovoked
-I think your dog whistle broke
-'Cause we can all hear it
Highlighting the visibility of divisive actions and statements
Post a white power clip claim you missed what they were cheering
-Hearing's fine, so you must be hard of spirit, running interference
-Cap lock on
Describing the President's communication style and reactions
Spellcheck off
-The Teflon Don
-Gets his feelings hurt by basketball
Commentary on the President's sensitivity and controversial statements
United Nations gets a stand-up show
-Your race relations is a taco bowl
-This is not partisan, I think reasonable people can disagree
Expressing the idea that reasonable people can have differing opinions
But nobody stuck on a wall likes the way that things end
Referencing the difficulty of fixing a broken situation
It goes "All the king's horses and all the king's men"
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
Reiteration of the theme of tyranny
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
-Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny, tyranny
