He swore on a book he never read
Plastic flag pinned to his suit
Teleprompter glow in his eyes
Saying "They’re the threat"
Maps spread out like board games
Oil fields marked in red
He points at a country he can’t pronounce
Says "Freedom starts there"
Fake president
Paper crown war
Talking like a hero from behind locked doors
You light the match
We feel the flame
You sell the lie
We take the blame
Fake president
Paper crown war
He needs a villain for the show
Ratings dipped
Now markets shake
So he paints their sky with danger
Calls it “keeping us all safe”
Heads nod in the quiet room
Contracts passed from palm to palm
He signs his name with someone else’s blood
Then says "Stay calm"
Do you see the mothers counting sirens?
Do you hear the kids learn a different kind of math?
Numbers on the screen
Faces off the map
You call it strategy
They call it shattered glass
