What song says Donald Trump to you: "Everybody Loves Me, Baby, What's The Matter With You"

by Don McLean:

Everybody Loves Me
Song by Don McLean

Overview
Lyrics

… One, two, three, four

… Fortune has me well in hand
Armies wait at my command
My gold lies in a foreign land
Buried deep beneath the sand

… The angels guide my every tread
My enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've led
Haven't brought you to my bed

… You see, everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do
To offend you?

… Now the purest race I've bred for thee
To live in my democracy
And the highest human pedigree
Awaits the first born boy, baby

… And my face on every coin engraved
The anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever waved
By the grateful people I have saved

… You see, everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Won'tcha tell me what did I do
To offend you?

… Now, no land is beyond my claim
When land is seized in the people's name
By evil men who rob and maim
If war is hell, I'm not to blame

… Why, you can't blame me I'm heaven's child
I'm the second son of Mary mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde
But he didn't mind, why, he just smiled

… Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through
And the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
I'm held in very great value
By everyone I meet but you

… 'Cause I've used my talents as I could
I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so
C'mon and treat me like you should

… Because everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Tell me what did I do
To offend you?

… Yeah, everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Tell me what did I do
To offend you?

… Yeah, everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Tell me what did I do
To offend you?

tool 7empest lyrics
Heat lighting flash, but don't blink
Misleading
Tranquility ruse
You're gonna happen again
That's what I think
Follow the evidence
Look it dead in the eye
You are darkness
Trying to lull us in, before the havoc begins
Into a dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better
It's not unlike you
It's not unlike you
We know your nature
Blame it all on the bastards when you're blowing out
Shame on you
Shame on you, now
No amount of wind could to begin to cover up your petulant stench and demeanor
Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems
We're not buying your dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better
It's not unlike you
It's not unlike you
We know your nature
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the tempest comes to reign all over
Disputing intentions invites devastation
A tempest must be true to its nature
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
Control, your delusion
Insane and striking at random
Victim of your certainty
And therefore your doubt's not an option
Blameless, the tempest will be just that
So try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone
Your words to erase all the damage cannot
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that

Vestal Virginia - ain't got a bad thought in ya - you're a bastard
Mean as a killer - instinct that's within ya - you're a bastard
Laughs like a drain and it messes up my brain
Cos you know I like the pain of never knowing
Space cow I'll chew the bad blood running through ya
Kiss you as you hit the floor 'cos you don't even know that you're a bastard

There's a crisis in the kitchen
But that don't stop you bitchin' - you're a bastard
You got that Yellowjacket touch
With the stings that hurt so much - you're such a bastard
Flirting in the shadows, aiming all those little arrows
You're as shallow as the gallows you got me in to (yeah)
Voodoo dolls gonna line the room, handcuffs glinting in the gloom
One day you'll find that hidden door, inside everyone screams that you're a bastard
(You're such a...)

You twist me til I'm lame, then you spin the coin again - you're such a bastard
You're so naturally perverse, you ain't even gotta rehearse -you're such a bastard
Fly like a witch, without running in some pitch
Why don't you break the switch that takes me over
My prison is your brain, your prisoner's insane
Forgot all the keys, you can break the chains
But you don't even take the blame you bastard

(Bastard, bastard) I'm enjoying that lately, you know just the beginnings
