Chorus

Chainsaw! Chainsaw!

They’re taking it down! They’re taking it down.

Because they hate the gummint

They are taking it to the ground.

And there’s never been a program

To survive a second round.

They’re taking down the gummint

with a chainsaw.

We used to aid small countries that were being left behind

To help them to be strong and be our partners and allies.

But Elon thinks that’s crap, they aren’t our friends, and we aren’t theirs

So we’ve taken back our dough and left them no-wheres.

Chorus

Oh the climate’s in a crisis, it’s a real emergency

But the leaders urge it onward with a Trump insurgency.

No use voting for the climate, cause your voting rights are gone.

The only ones with votes are Trump and E-lon.

Chorus

And if the program’s popular, they can’t remove it quite.

They will fire the ones who run it so it strangles in the night.

Veterans care and healthcare and social security

Every one will perish in obscurity.

Chorus

The department of education’s set to vanish from the scene

Cause who needs education, just to be a human bean.

The FBI will disappear, before it investigates

The many crimes of Donald and his playmates.
