Lyrics

Three years of Trump
Every day he's in the news
The country's divided
Fox gives him rave reviews

Then we come to year four
Trump says Covid-19 it's under control
But the states are left to battle on alone
Cuz he's afraid it'ill hurt him in the polls

The ides of April
You might be viral
The ides of April
Your life is in peril
Beware

Beware the ides of April
A pandemic has appeared
The market's out of toilet paper
You need a new career
Beware of the ides of April

Pray a vaccine will be found
Pray for someone who will unite us
Pray our nation can rebound
