The Golden Calf - Static Youth

[Intro] Once upon a time… in a shiny tower… There was a boy who wanted to be king… [Verse 1] Born with a silver spoon and a silver tongue, Daddy’s millions made the playground his kingdom. Five draft deferments, bone spurs in his feet, While other boys came home in bags from the heat. He built an empire on his father’s name, Casinos crumbled, but the bankruptcies never brought him shame. Trump University promised dreams for a fee, Twenty-five million later, the judge said “pay up, please.” [Pre-Chorus] He smiled for the cameras, never missed a chance, Turned every failure into another golden dance. [Chorus] Oh, the Golden Calf, shining in the lights, Bow down, America, to the man who owns the nights. He takes what he wants, leaves the wreckage behind, The king of the deal… with the bankrupt mind. Golden Calf, taller than the rest, Worship at the altar of the man who failed the test. From the boardroom to the White House, the story never ends, The Golden Calf keeps rising… on the backs of his friends. [Verse 2] He bragged about the women, grabbed them by the parts, Stormy, Karen, and the ones who never made the charts. Paid to keep them quiet, then called them all liars, While the Access Hollywood tape set the world on fire. Two impeachments, January 6th in the rearview mirror, He watched the riot from the White House, crystal clear. Family separation at the border, kids in cages and tears, But he smiled for the base and said “they’re not like us, my dears.” [Pre-Chorus] He called them “very fine people” on both sides of the hate, Then wondered why the country started coming apart at the seams. [Chorus] Oh, the Golden Calf, shining in the lights, Bow down, America, to the man who owns the nights. He takes what he wants, leaves the wreckage behind, The king of the deal… with the bankrupt mind. Golden Calf, taller than the rest, Worship at the altar of the man who failed the test. From the boardroom to the White House, the story never ends, The Golden Calf keeps rising… on the backs of his friends. [Bridge ] Now the trials keep coming, the verdicts pile high, Thirty-four felonies, but he still reaches for the sky. He lost the popular vote, twice, but never lost the fight, Because the faithful still believe in the Golden Calf tonight. He turned the party into a cult, the truth into a sin, And every time they counted, he said “I didn’t lose — I win.” [Final Chorus ] Oh, the Golden Calf, shining through the lies, Bow down, America, to the man who never dies. He takes what he wants, leaves the wreckage in his wake, The king of the con… with the empire at stake. Golden Calf, taller than the rest, Worship at the altar of the man who failed the test. From the boardroom to the White House, the story never ends, The Golden Calf keeps rising… and the country bends. [Outro] And they still love him… The Golden Calf… Still shining… Still standing tall.
