Lyrics

V.1
Kudos to those heroes
Who demonstrate real courage and strength
Unlike some politicians
Who will go to any length
To hold on to their power
As though it makes their life blood flow
Here in the USA
We’ve got a Charlatan and Puppet Show
V.2
Now we watch him hold up a Bible
As though his pledge is to the Lord above
Next they’ll lead us all in another
Song about brotherly love
But it’s all a clever sham and it’s plain to see
It’s clear as a clean fish bowl
Here in the USA
We’ve got a Charlatan and Puppet Show
Bridge
And with a Charlatan at the wheel
There’s no tellin’ where we might go
But nothin’ seems quite real
In this Charlatan and Puppet Show, oh no
V.3
Now they’ll flood us with their bogus loyalties
All their lies and hypocrisy
But it’s guaranteed that the last thing
On their minds is you or me
No, it’s all for one, but not “one for all”
Like that old saying used to go
Here in the USA
We’ve got a Charlatan and Puppet Show
It’s time to pull the plug
On a Charlatan and Puppet Show
It’s time to pull the plug
On a Charlatan and Puppet Show
