(Response): More like a revenue screw! He waved a flag — then lit the station Promised jobs — brought inflation! [Verse 2] He fought the globe with a sticker slap Signed the deal — then took a nap Swung his club at the trading zone Now the shelves? Just dust and bones [Pre-Chorus] “Buy American!” he swore with flair — While his suits got stitched... way over there [Chorus] (Call): Imported mess? (Response): Made in the U.S.A.! (Call): Slapped a tax — (Response): And danced away! Waved a flag — lit detonation Promised jobs — gave us inflation [Bridge – Instrumental + Horn Solo] [Breakdown – Spoken Word] "The Art of the Deal,” he said with a grin... But the punchline hit — you lose, he wins. [Final Chorus] Tariffs so wild, even reason bailed Now we meme through pain — ‘cause logic failed He waved that flag — with no foundation Promised jobs... brought pure inflation!
