[Verse 1]
That bastard making fun of me in front of all my peers
Those people think I own this town, you’re stripping all my gears
Well guess what Mr. President, I’ll be seeing you
In four years
[Verse 2]
Though on the campaign trail the papers paint me like a clown
Still all I see are crowds who want to fit me for a crown
I point out all my enemies just so my fans
Bring them down
[Chorus]
Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I don’t want this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell
[Verse 3]
You try to pin me down but you don’t really try that hard
I throw out any shit I want and no one trumps that card
So dazzled and distracted by your fantasy
Of Hildegard
[Chorus]
Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I don’t want this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell
[Verse 4]
You ask about my plan but baby my plan is to win
To wind up all the tops and watch the others keep the spin
You handing me grenades is just compelling me
To pull the pin
[Chorus]
Isn’t anybody going to stop me?
I don’t want this job
I can’t do this job, my god
Can’t you tell
I’m unwell
Can’t You Tell? was written by Aimee Mann.
Can’t You Tell? was produced by Paul Bryan.
Aimee Mann released Can’t You Tell? on Tue Oct 11 2016.
Aimee Mann explained the song in a statement:
I wanted to write about Trump in the first person because I think it’s more interesting to speculate on what people’s inner life might be. I had heard a theory that Trump’s interest in running for President was really kicked off at the 2011 White House...
