[Verse 1]
Look at the shape, the shape the nation's in
The situation is a shame and a sin
I want to know, how could a good thing go so wrong?
Yeah, tell me, what the hell is going on?

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I don't know whether to cry or laugh
Half the people in this country can't stand the other half
I want to know, why can't we halfway get along?
Ahh, people, people, what the hell is going on?

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
He is the president, but wants to be the king
Know what I like about the guy? Not a goddamn thing
I want to know, how can four years seem so long?
Yeah, Lord have mercy, what the hеll is going on?
