Deep State Detour
Verse 1
We’re fifty states deep down a gravel dirt road
The engine is smoking, carrying a heavy load
The dashboard is flashing a bright warning red
"Just fake warning lights," is what the driver said.
We took a hard right back in two-thousand-and-whenever
He said this shortcut was historically clever.
Now the allies are waving, holding up a yield sign,
He puts the pedal down and says, "The country's doing fine!"
Chorus
'Cause a man at the wheel never asks for the way
Even when the whole nation is drifting astray
Don't ask for directions, don't look at the map
He says the compass is rigged, it’s a deep state trap
We're lost in the woods on a highway of pride
And he won't ask Melania to co-pilot the ride.
Verse 2
She’s in the passenger seat with her dark glasses on
Looking out the window, wondering where the pavement's gone
The experts and generals are shouting from the back
"Sir, I think we're miles off the actual track!"
But he turns up the radio, drowns out the noise
Says, "I know the roads better than the map-making boys.
No one drives a republic as perfect as me,
We're exactly where the founding fathers wanted us to be."
Chorus
'Cause a man at the wheel never asks for the way
Even when the whole nation is drifting astray
Don't ask for directions, don't look at the map
He says the compass is rigged, it’s a deep state trap
We're lost in the woods on a highway of pride
And he won't ask Melania to co-pilot the ride.
Bridge
You could ask an historian, you could ask an ally
But he looks at a storm and sees a beautiful sky
Why pull over now and admit we’re confused?
When the scenic route gets you on the evening news?
He's got a Sharpie in his pocket, he's drawing a line
"See? The hurricane's gone and the weather is fine."
Outro
Yeah, we’re not lost. It’s a tremendous detour.
The best detour in the history of detours, maybe ever.
Everyone is saying it.
Look at this ditch. It’s a beautiful, perfect ditch.
Melania, don't roll down the window, the swamp is out there.
We're making incredible time...
Just incredible time...
