RAGE ON, KING LEAR
For a moment, the world was your oyster.
It all went according to plan.
You grew up in Queens
But you swore from your teens
That the whole town would see you’re the man.
________________
Old money would never accept you
Regardless of how hard you tried.
So you went on TV
And the country could see
That you were the boss–that’s no lie.
_____________
You ran for the big prize in ’16.
Only you really thought you could win.
You thought up the wall
Showed the right you had balls
The establishment’s ears were of tin.
_______________
The Democrats thought they would crush you
But you proved you were smarter than them.
The Russians were blamed
But it’s all just a game
You won, and they didn’t–the end.
_____________
But the prize that you won turned to poison.
The bad guys are back at your door.
Mueller awaits
All are guessing your fate
It’s not that much fun anymore.
_____________
Rage on, King Lear, at the TV.
Even Fox isn’t really your friend.
Shut the newspapers down
‘Cause they call you a clown
They’ll show you respect in the end.
_____________
Rage on, King Lear, at the lawyers.
Who tell you it just can’t be done.
Throw Clinton in jail
Watch the left gnash and wail
Throw Pelosi in, too, just for fun.
_____________
Rage on, King Lear, at the traitors
Who keep sticking knives in your back.
You’ll show all those rats
That you’re still the big cat.
You kill when you’re under attack.

Rage on, King Lear, at the public.
They don’t see the genius you are.
One day you’ll be gone
They think life will go on
But it won’t! Cause you’re just such a star!
