[Verse 1]
There's a tumor in the White House
There's a blowhard at the gate
Chokeholders in the squad car

Always got so much to say
[Chorus]

But some part of you remains
Go on and call your friend Llewellyn
Maybe he feels the same
And if you're tired of thе peril

[Chorus]
So if you've eaten the mythology
And now you've got a bellyache
Go on and call your old friend Dorothy
Maybe she feels the same
And if you're tired of the peril
And the bullshit and the hate
Go on and call your Uncle Darryl
Maybe it's not too late
[Outro]
Maybe it's not too late
I really hope it's not too late
