[Verse 1]
Look at all the signs
Waving in the breeze
Such a silly sight
I never thought I'd see
I feel it in the air
Washing over me
Soon enough the tide
Will drag us all to sea
[Chorus]
'Cause now we're traveling backwards
We're traveling backwards
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Promise you the future
Say he got a plan
When it took his daddy's fortune
To make that boy a man
The truth is all around
It's plain enough to see
He wanna turn the clock
Back on you and me
[Chorus]
So now we're traveling backwards
We're traveling backwards
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
[Bridge]
And I might be okay if I couldn't say
That he was speaking to half of us
I might be okay if I could say
There was one of them to trust
I might be okay if I couldn't say
He was speaking to half of us
I might be okay if I could say
There was one of them to trust
[Chorus]
But now we're traveling backwards
We are traveling backwards
[Outro]
I might be okay if I could say
There was one of them to trust
I might be okay if I could say
He wasn't so dangerous

Perhaps the greatest irony is how a campaign fueled by outright lies reveals a deep-seated kernel of truth of what far too many Americans hold up as sacred: massive wealth, the sway of celebrity, branding, power, and greed. I don’t want to say that he’s the president we deserve, yet here we are."
